New York AG seeks $1.37B from NovaTech founders over Ponzi scheme

The New York Attorney General has taken legal action against the founders of NovaTech, seeking $1.37 billion in damages related to a Ponzi scheme. This development comes after a default judgment was entered in August 2025, indicating the founders' failure to respond to the allegations. Additionally, the Attorney General announced settlements with four promoters involved in the scheme, totaling nearly $6 million. The Ponzi scheme allegedly deceived investors, leading to significant financial losses. The legal action underscores the ongoing efforts to combat financial fraud and protect investors. The case highlights the importance of regulatory oversight in the financial sector. NovaTech's founders face significant financial penalties if the court rules in favor of the Attorney General. The outcome of this case may set a precedent for future legal actions against individuals involved in similar financial schemes.
