Suspended Broker Sentenced to Two Years in Prison for Investment Fraud
According to official records from the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Southern District of New York, 42-year-old Kenneth Thom of Belleville, New Jersey, was sentenced on Tuesday, August 11, to two years in prison for investment adviser fraud. U.S. District Judge Edgardo Ramos also sentenced Thom to two years of supervised release and ordered him to pay $724,756.09 in forfeiture and $724,756.09 in restitution. The case remains open and developing following the official announcement on August 14, 2026. Official records state that Thom operated online under the names "K$" and "K Money" after the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority suspended his broker registration in 2011 for failing to pay an arbitration award. Beginning in late 2023, Thom invited members of his Facebook group to participate in managed "shared accounts" in exchange for half of the trading profits. Thom raised nearly $800,000 from approximately 66 clients, but invested only approximately $350,000 and diverted the remainder for personal use, including international travel, dining, and luxury goods. Official documents state that Thom lost approximately 73% of the invested $350,000 between March 2024 and March 2025 while continuing to post updates showing gains. In January 2025, Thom renamed the Facebook group "AYBABTU"—an acronym for "all your base are belong to us"—and stopped responding to clients. At the time of sentencing, Thom maintained three luxury vehicles, including a Maserati and two Porsches, according to the U.S. Attorney's Office. The prosecution was led by Assistant U.S. Attorney Alexander Li of the Securities and Commodities Fraud Task Force, with assistance from the Federal Bureau of Investigation and the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.

How we work
This site models an investigative reporter rather than a wire desk. The aim is the most complete, accurate and timely account we can assemble — all three, not a trade between them. Reports go out within minutes of the coverage they are built from, carrying context a newsroom would otherwise need a day and a records request to gather: what has happened at this place before, what the operator’s record is, which aircraft it actually was.
Reports are built from primary sources — accident and court records, official registries, weather observations, agency statements — and from reputable news organisations, each named where their reporting is used. Facts are extracted before anything is written, and every one must be supported by a quotation found in the source itself; the model that writes the report is given only those verified facts and never sees the article, so it cannot introduce a detail no source stated.
Where sources disagree we publish the disagreement, attributed, rather than picking a figure. Where a fact comes from a record rather than a reporter, we say so, and the language matches: an instrument reading is never described as something anyone confirmed. Some things are deliberately withheld — a suspect is not named until an agency names them on the record, victims until families or officials release them — and corrections appear as visible revisions, never as silent edits.
None of that makes a report true. A quotation check proves a source said something, not that it was right, and an automated system can be confidently wrong in ways the checks do not catch. If something here is wrong, the feedback above is how it gets found. The full methodology, including what we refuse to publish.
