Life coach accused of swindling $250,000 from couple
A man charged with securities fraud and theft for allegedly swindling $250,000 from a married couple who consulted him on how to invest profits from the sale of their home is scheduled to appear today for an initial hearing in Las Vegas Justice Court, the Nevada Attorney General's office announced.
Richard Bernstein faces up to 20 years in prison and a $500,000 fine if convicted. Bernstein, who represents himself as an executive and life coach, recommended that the couple invest in a new business venture called Turn-Key Financial Group that he was to run. Bernstein told the couple he would match their investment in Turn-Key and that all of the money the victims invested would be used to pay legitimate business expenses.
