Indian-Origin Man Sentenced for $35 Million Ponzi Scheme Defrauding Travis Kelce and Others
Siddharth Jawahar, an Indian-origin investment adviser, was sentenced to 11 years in US federal prison for running a Ponzi scheme that defrauded 64 investors, including NFL star Travis Kelce. Jawahar's Texas-based firm, Swiftarc Capital LLC, collected over $35 million but invested only about $10 million, mainly in Philip Morris Pakistan. He concealed losses and used new investor funds to pay earlier clients and support a lavish lifestyle. Kelce was identified as a victim but is not accused of wrongdoing. Jawahar was ordered to pay $31.35 million in restitution.
