Siddharth Jawahar, a 36-year-old Indian-American, faces charges for orchestrating a Ponzi scheme, prompting the FBI to seek victims, particularly in the Miami area.

A federal grand jury indicted Siddharth Jawahar, who remains in custody pending sentencing. From July 2016 to December 2023, Jawahar allegedly amassed over USD 35 million from Swiftarc investors, misappropriating roughly USD 10 million for company investments.

The lavish lifestyle funded by this scheme included private flights, luxury hotel stays, and extravagant dining. The indictment reveals that starting in 2015, Jawahar primarily invested client funds in Philip Morris Pakistan (PMP), eventually allocating 99% of these funds to this single investment. Despite a significant decline in PMP’s value, Jawahar reportedly deceived investors about share prices and profits.

Furthermore, he failed to disclose that the Texas State Securities Board had revoked Swiftarc Capital’s investment authority on June 7, 2022 and had ordered him to stop engaging in fraudulent activities. Despite this, Jawahar allegedly continued soliciting investments, including a USD 1 million contribution after the state board’s directive.

The wire fraud charges could result in up to 20 years in prison and a USD 250,000 fine, while the investment adviser fraud charge carries a potential five-year sentence and a USD 10,000 fine.
