I was also a victim on this scam, however, no one , not one investor has contacted me to file a civil law suit against this horrible person. Isn't anyone out there contacting the investors to file a civil lawsuit?
I myself contacted the best attorney you can get. He is the only one that was able to return money to the investors in the KL Fund case, another Ponzi Scheme in Palm Beach two years ago. However, he wants a retainer and I don't know who to contact that wants to be part of this.
Is no one working in "unison"?
I don't know who to contact as I probably was the last person to invest my money – Invested March 10- Lost it all April 20th! If you also lost money and don't have an attorney, please contact me. Power in numbers!!!

Sir Pimstein is free because the FBI operates in an orderly fashion. It will proceed against Sir Pimstein only when it has its ducks in order. Surely, the FBI is compiling a complete database on the scheme before deciding when to proceed and against whom.

This is not the only Ponzi scheme run by Pimstein. There was at least one more fraudulent scheme in which I was a victim to the amount of $250,000. He had a partner, also a victim, a long time friend and classmate married to my nice. I understood this was a family investment company, also dealing with electronics for Ripley, and was caught up in it after it had been operating for several years, apparently successfully. Unfortunately it caught up many family members who are now without their retirement funds. There needs to be a more complete investigation of the whole scheme and what actually happened to all the money. This second scheme, I was told by Pimstein's friend and partner, involved about $50 million.

of interest is that Mr. Pimstein is still a "free man"...i am sure that the FBI has a plan

Very well done-glad that you are investigating this scheme. I am sure a lot of innocent people will lose money that they can not afford during these "hard times". Good luck.

This proves the old saying,"If something sounds too good to be true, it probably is". And why is this mastermind not behind bars? Keep digging, only the tip of this iceberg is showing now. Just wait, this probably really explode soon and hopefully there not too many victims he fleeced.
Maybe this is a really big reality check for all of us! There are wolves in sheeps clothing out there...Just beware! Trust...but verify!
