US Charges English Twins Over $1.2m 'Stock Robot' Fraud

Posted by timothy on from the not-all-english-twins-of-course dept.

peetm writes "Twin brothers from England face U.S. civil charges for allegedly defrauding investors out of $1.2m (£745,000) through a bogus stock-picking robot. The twins, Alexander and Thomas Hunter, were just 16 years old when they devised the scam — which fooled around 75,000 people, according to U.S. officials."
