Investment Con Artist, Roderick James Rieman was indicted on mail fraud charges in connection with defrauding more than 100 investors of more than $5 million in a Ponzi-type scheme, federal prosecutors say. Roderick Rieman, 66, of Geneva, and a partner, Michael Crook, 52, of Los Angeles, were indicted April 6, 2011 of 10 counts each of mail fraud by a federal grand jury. If convicted, each count of mail fraud carries a maximum penalty of 20 years in prison, a $250,000 fine and mandatory restitution. The U.S. Attorneys Office for the Northern District of Illinois said the two created four companies between 2004 and 2007, took money for investing in them, overstated and misrepresented their value and return, then used money from new investors to pay older ones, according to the indictment. Rieman said he was was a director of Z Touch Systems Inc., Global Payment Solutions Inc., Bluko Information Inc., and Smart Restaurant Solutions Inc., all based in Las Vegas. The companies were supposed to create interactive kiosks, software for making restaurant reservations and pre-paid debit cards. For example, for Z Touch, the interactive kiosk was called ODIEs, On Demand Interactive Environments, according to the indictment. Rieman misled prospective investors and investors by telling them such things as: Bluko and Z Touch had contracts with the U.S. military and with Habitat for Humanity, according to the indictment. Morgan Stanley was going to take Bluko to the promised land and the U.S. had purchased a large number of ODIEs for use by soldiers.
