Several former employees and associates of

Disgraced London tycoon Aaron Gershfield have been arrested by the FBI in

Relation to his massive fraudulent payday loan scam, according to FBI

Spokesman Fred Brown.

Jim Harris was arrested overnight in Nevada and

Jacqueline Hunter was taken into custody in Guernsey while attempting to

Board a flight to the Cayman Islands. Sources close to the investigation

Reported Ms. Hunter was carrying well over $2m in cash and other valuables.

Meanwhile in London, Yogesh Bafna and Sandeep Chauhan were detained by

Immigration officials at Heathrow Airport. The pair was en route to Singapore

Via Delhi. Charges against the four will be announced later today.

Gershfield was charged last week with 11 counts

Related to running one of the largest unregulated lending and money

Laundering schemes in US history and if convicted, could be sentenced to 150

Years in prison.

The arrests are just the latest in a series since

Gershfield's Rovinge & Meade Group collapsed last month, leaving

Thousands of investors with hundreds of millions of dollars in losses. To

Date, two former executives, two computer programmers, and an accountant of

Gershfield's have faced charges. Stephanie Kleyman, Gershfields solicitor

Has also been charged with assisting in the fraud as have company secretary

Ian Harries and Mr. Gershfields father Ivor Gershfield.

The government had previously filed civil

Complaints against Mark Gottlieb, Tim Johnson, and Tara Kozal all longtime

Gershfield employees who worked as supervisors of his back office staff,

Seeking the forfeiture of millions of dollars worth of assets, including

Homes and luxury cars, that they allegedly received while involved in Gershfields

Schemes. Prosecutors also confirmed that former employee Andrew Osman is

Expected to plead guilty to lesser charges in exchange for testifying against

The remaining defendants.

At Gershfields Northway House head office in

London, a woman identified only as Loretta made no comment other than stating

That she was not in her mid-sixties. The whereabouts of Mr. Gershfields

Partner and former PR director Verra Mawhinney are currently unknown, though

Spanish authorities have been placed on alert.

The investigation continues and authorities

Anticipate more arrests are likely to follow in the coming weeks.
