ATTORNEY GENERAL MASTO ANNOUNCES SENTENCING IN CONNECTION WITH SECURITIES FRAUD SCAM
Defendant, a Self-Proclaimed Grammy Award Nominee, Claimed to have Rare Material by Jimi Hendrix, The Beatles, and The Rolling Stones
Las Vegas, NV – Nevada Attorney General Catherine Cortez Masto announced that a Las Vegas man pled guilty and was sentenced for running a securities fraud scam. Marino DeSilva, 51, solicited investments by falsely claiming he would use the funds for the production and marketing of recordings featuring music by artists including The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, and Jimi Hendrix. “The defendant misrepresented who he was and sold bogus investments to unassuming innocent people,” said Masto. “My office, in partnership with the Nevada Secretary of State’s office, continues to hold perpetrators accountable.” DeSilva falsely claimed he was a Grammy Award winning musician/producer who owned the rights to use this intellectual property. He also falsely claimed to have marketing agreements with the Hard Rock and Cirque du Soleil to promote and sell these productions. In truth, DeSilva used the vast majority of money obtained from investors to fund his lavish lifestyle. On September 12, Clark County District Court Judge David Barker sentenced DeSilva to 38 to 96 months in the Nevada Department of Corrections and ordered to pay $132,000 in restitution. The case was investigated by Nevada Secretary of State Ross Miller’s Office and prosecuted by Jeffrey H. Segal, Deputy Attorney General, in Attorney General Masto’s Bureau of Criminal Justice. Consumers or investors who believe they have been defrauded in a securities fraud scheme can file complaints with the Secretary of State Office at http://nvsos.gov/index.aspx?page=193 or 702-486-2440.
