Father and daughter charged over $70m scam

A FLORIDA father and daughter showed “callous disregard” for the British victims of their $70 million (€44m) share scam, US investigators said yesterday.

The pair were arrested in Florida and charged with multiple counts of money laundering and fraud.

Zibiah Gunter, 25, and her father Paul, 58, are accused of selling worthless shares to thousands of mostly elderly British citizens. If found guilty, they could face up to 25 years in prison.
