Three Accused of Securities Fraud
A Mission Viejo securities broker and another from Orange were among three men indicted Thursday on charges of defrauding relatives and elderly clients, including a 101-year-old man, of hundreds of thousands of dollars.
Two of the victims were an Atwater man, 101, and his 83-year-old wife, who lost $225,000 in an alleged fraud by Jacques Doigny, 40, of Mission Viejo.
Doigny, a former agent of Mutual of Omaha Co., is one of the three defendants named in separate indictments alleging they committed mail, wire and securities fraud.
Doigny, a fugitive, was indicted on 19 counts of securities fraud, including taking nearly $400,000 from a 75-year-old North Hollywood man.
The other brokers indicted are Michael Lee Scott, 31, formerly of Los Angeles, and Michael Jurinske, 29, of Orange. Scott faces 15 counts while Jurinske is charged with one count of mail fraud.
