Judge refuses to dismiss charge in investment case
Ronald Sheppard of HomeGold Financial faced securities fraud charges as prosecutors rest their case. He is accused of defrauding about 8,000 investors of roughly 275 million dollars linked to the 2003 collapse of HomeGold and Carolina Investors. A judge rejected a motion to dismiss one charge and two counts. Steven Wilson testified he earned up to 600000 in 2002 after the merger, then admitted drafting a critical email about praise for Sheppard.
