Scandals & crimes ledger
resolved — TS Capital Partners Investor Fraud Civil Lawsuit
Investors sued Tommy Tuberville and his business partner John David Stroud, alleging they were defrauded of approximately $1.76 million invested in TS Capital Partners, a hedge fund Tuberville co-managed from 2008–2011. Plaintiffs alleged Tuberville and Stroud provided false information about profits and losses and omitted material risks. Tuberville was not criminally charged. Stroud pleaded guilty to securities fraud and was sentenced to 10 years in prison and ordered to pay $2.1 million in restitution. Tuberville settled the civil lawsuit on confidential terms, approved by U.S. District Judge Myron Thompson in Montgomery, Alabama, in October 2013.
