前FBI探员罗耶第二次联邦定罪获刑71个月 假借外汇交易诈骗投资者、伪造收益报表
Detroit——美国司法部密歇根东区联邦检察官办公室10月15日宣布，前联邦调查局（FBI）探员杰弗里·罗耶（Jeffrey Royer）当天被判处71个月联邦监禁，罪名是欺诈多名投资者。联邦检察官杰罗姆·戈登（Jerome F. Gorgon, Jr.）与FBIDetroit外勤办公室主管特工詹妮弗·鲁尼安（Jennifer Runyan）共同宣布了这一判决。
检方指，罗耶向投资者声称资金将用于外汇（forex）与大宗商品期货交易，实际上却把部分资金挪作个人开支，并向投资者作出资金不会亏损的虚假保证；当投资实际亏损时，他又伪造收益报表，谎称录得可观盈利。罗耶此前已经认罪。法院除判处监禁外，还责令他向受害者支付575,999.58美元赔偿金，刑满后接受3年监管释放。
罗耶于1996年至2001年在FBI任职。这已是他的第二次联邦重罪定罪：他曾利用探员身份窃取FBI与证券交易委员会（SEC）调查中的机密执法信息，交给一名卖空交易者换取现金与未来就业承诺，并于2012年服满包括敲诈共谋、证券欺诈共谋、妨碍司法与篡改证人在内的多项罪名刑期后获释。本案由FBI调查，助理联邦检察官安德鲁·亚金德（Andrew J. Yahkind）负责起诉。
Former FBI Agent Royer Sentenced to 71 Months in Second Federal Case Over Forex Fraud
DETROIT — The U.S. Attorney's Office for the Eastern District of Michigan announced on October 15 that former FBI agent Jeffrey Royer was sentenced that day to 71 months in federal prison for defrauding multiple investors. U.S. Attorney Jerome F. Gorgon, Jr. announced the sentence together with Jennifer Runyan, Special Agent in Charge of the FBI's Detroit Field Office.
Prosecutors said Royer told investors their money would be used for foreign-currency (forex) and commodity futures trading, but instead diverted some of the funds to personal expenses and falsely assured investors their money was protected from losses. When the investments were in fact losing money, he fabricated earnings statements showing significant gains. Royer had pleaded guilty. In addition to the prison term, the court ordered him to pay $575,999.58 in restitution to his victims and to serve three years of supervised release afterward.
Royer served as an FBI agent from 1996 to 2001. This is his second federal felony conviction: he previously abused his position to steal confidential law-enforcement information about companies under FBI and Securities and Exchange Commission investigation and passed it to a short-selling trader in exchange for the promise of cash and future employment. He was released from federal prison in 2012 after serving a sentence for racketeering conspiracy, securities fraud conspiracy, securities fraud, obstruction of justice and witness tampering. The FBI investigated the current case, which was prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorney Andrew J. Yahkind.
