MARTIN Star-Ledger Staff Two former executives of a Cranford-based technology firm yesterday admitted defrauding 40 investors who poured $5 million into the company after being told it was ripe for a takeover or public stock offering.
During a hearing in federal district court in Newark, R. Kevin Holt and Robert Henches said they conspired to inflate the net worth of InsPara Networking Technologies to lure money for their fledgling company.
