From the FBI'swebsite:
Ronald Earl McCullough is wanted for his alleged involvement in an investment fraud scheme that occurred between approximately January 2009 and May 2012.
McCullough, along with a partner (convicted by trial in June 2015), allegedly solicited victims to invest in what they described as an exclusive foreign currency exchange group. McCullough and his partner allegedly told investors that the minimum to participate in the group was $1 million, but because they were "Christians" who wanted to help other Christians "build wealth," they would allow the victims to invest through their trading account.
McCullough and his partner allegedly told victims that their return was "guaranteed" and that the principal was safe and would be returned. They also allegedly promised high returns to investors, often double the amount that was invested within 30 days. McCullough and his partner sometimes paid returns to investors for their initial investments, which often encouraged them to reinvest larger sums of money that were never repaid. In many cases, McCullough and his partner allegedly used the money provided by investors to buy clothes, cars, and lavish homes.
A federal arrest warrant was issued for McCullough in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of North Carolina, Western Division, on July 9, 2013, after he was charged with conspiracy, wire fraud, mail fraud, engaging in unlawful monetary transactions, and aiding and abetting.

Thoughts? All these alleged con artists are heartless bastards but this case especially takes the cake. According to the full FBI press release, many of these people invested their life savings with McCullough and even planned to build a church on property with the money McCullough had promised them they would make: www.fbi.gov/atlanta/press-releases/2016/fbi-offers-5-000-to-locate-investment-scheme-fugitive
It takes the lowest of the low to the people's life savings and also take advantage of religion. Mr. McCullough should know that's bad karma. All these guys are scumbags but if guilty of his alleged crimes this guy belongs in the top 10 hall of shame.
