On October 6th, the Missouri Secretary of State’s Office sent the following news release regarding a Ponzi scheme which defrauded Missouri investors:
Secretary of State Jay Ashcroft’s Securities Division issued an order against Scottsdale, Arizona resident John D. Myers, and entities Skytec Security Services, LLC, and Skytec Service KC, LLC, finding they defrauded investors from the Kansas City, Missouri area.
Missouri Commissioner of Securities David Minnick found that respondents, individually and collectively, orchestrated and organized a scheme that defrauded eight Missouri investors by appealing to the desire for higher performance on their retirement savings.
In connection with the offers and sales, Myers, either directly or indirectly through business associate and fellow respondent Daniel S. Madasz, Sr., convinced them to invest in alternative investments in the form of illiquid and risky promissory notes to fund the growth and expansion of their fledgling businesses. Respondents promised investors large returns of 10-12% annually. Once in possession of the investors’ funds, however, respondents misappropriated the funds for their own personal benefit and operated a Ponzi-like scheme in which new investor funds were used to pay earlier investors.
Most investors received virtually none of their investments back and in total, Missouri investors lost more than $1 Million to the scheme. Madasz is currently incarcerated in the state of Kansas for securities fraud committed during the same period of time with investors in Kansas. The division’s administrative proceeding relating to Madasz is pending upon his release from Kansas Department of Corrections.
Following the investigation and an evidentiary hearing, Minnick found that respondents offered and sold $1,024,167 in unregistered, non-exempt promissory notes to eight elderly Missouri investors.
Minnick’s final order directs respondents to pay $600,000 in civil penalties, and more than $1.5 million in restitution including interest and to pay investigation costs.

On October 8th, the Missouri Secretary of State’s Office sent the following news release about a hunting guide who allegedly defrauded investors:
Missouri Secretary of State Jay Ashcroft’s securities division issued a cease and desist order against a Republic, Missouri hunting guide. Theodore Jay Eddings is required to show cause why civil penalties, restitution, costs and other administrative relief should not be imposed against him after several investors were allegedly defrauded.
Between April 2017 and October 2018, Eddings raised at least $50,500 for two entities he claimed to own and operate, only one of which was an actual registered business. Eddings raised the funds by selling investments in the form of investment contracts and promissory notes to eight individuals across five states, including one Missouri investor.
The entities were promoted by Eddings on Facebook as deer and turkey hunt providers in Missouri. When individuals would contact Eddings for services, he would then solicit investments into the businesses. Once the funds were received, Eddings then misappropriated the funds for his own personal benefit. He also made material misstatements and omissions in connection with the sale of the securities.
The securities division seeks a final order prohibiting Eddings from further violations of the Missouri Securities Act, as well as $53,500 in restitution with interest, civil penalties, investigation costs and other administrative relief.
