Yes Dan took other people's money and invested it poorly. It doesn't matter in the slightest if any of it was his. Like robbing the bank your account is held at doesn't mean you didnt rob the bank just because some of yours was there.
Why do you think funds and real financiers are not allowed to trade in the pinks? Because they are too risky to put other people's money into.
Dan not only took people's money and invested it poorly he put those people's shares in his own name.
Intent?
To borrow a bunch of money and reap the benifit of the investment without the risk. If he made 5000% he would just replace the original money and pocket the profit.
But because he is a very bad investor he took a loss and tried to let his victims pay the price.
He was sued and lost because what he did was against the law.
There is no "his money" excuse. Dan is a criminal. Scott may be a scammer but it has never been proven. Dan is a convicted con man. Currah is a convicted con man. There is no difference between them just because Dan is the current rip off artist
