Boston man sentenced for investment fraud scheme BOSTON – The owner of several Bostonbased investment companies was recently sentenced to nearly two years in prison for operating a Ponzi-like fraud scheme. Tanmaya Kabra, 27, was sentenced by U.S. District Court Judge Denise Casper to 21 months in prison and one year of supervised release. Kabra was also ordered to pay restitution of $1.8 million and a fi ne of $15,000. On April 8, Kabra pleaded guilty to four counts of wire fraud. Kabra admitted to victimizing more than 20 individuals who suffered more than $1.8 million in losses because of his scheme Kabra conducted business through a company called LaunchByte.io LLC and several affiliated entities. He presented himself to investors as a successful serial entrepreneur, venture capitalist and angel investor in start-up companies. Off ering lucrative and low- or no-risk returns on investments, Kabra lured investors with representations that their funds would be used to foster the growth and development of start-up companies, in order to prepare those companies for sale or for other legitimate business opportunities. In reality, Kabra used the money that he received from investors to pay off existing debts to prior investors in his scheme and to fund his lavish personal expenses, including using more than $200,000 of fraudulently obtained funds to purchase a power boat.
