Hahn led about 100 potential investors to believe this group of doctors would pay an annual interest rate of 20% on their loans or investments. Hahn then collected funds from these individuals and deposited them into his insurance business or personal checking accounts. <\/p>\n<p>Prosecutors say Hahn would periodically make interest payments, in cash, representing a 20% return on said fictitious loans or investments, utilizing funds he had derived from earlier investors. Upon request, Hahn would return principle loan or investment funds in the form of a check drawn on his insurance or personal checking accounts, using funds he had received from other investors. He admitted that, in fact, there never was a group of doctors raising capital. Hahn admitted he simply made up this story to obtain and maintain funds for his personal use. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>TYLER &#8212; TYLER &#8212; A former Tyler insurance agent, who pleaded guilty to wire fraud and money laundering, has been handed a prison term.
