Mr. Wiand at the suggestion of the SEC and other regulatory agencies has been appointed as a receiver to resolve the damage caused by perpetrators of securities and consumer fraudulent schemes. Over 15 years ago Mr. Wiand received an appointment as a Receiver in a Ponzi scheme as part of an SEC enforcement action. Through his efforts substantial funds were recovered and distributed to victims of a $200 million dollar fraudulent scheme. Since that time, Mr. Wiand has been selected as Receiver in over ten separate regulatory enforcement actions brought by the SEC, FTC, CFTC, and the Florida Office of Financial Regulations. These cases involve hundreds of millions of dollars of fraudulent investments and consumer losses and have resulted in large recoveries and distributions to victims of fraudulent schemes.
Mr. Wiand is a member of the National Association of Federal Equity Receivers. For the past six years he has served as a Director of the Association. He is currently active with NAFER as a Director Emeritus. In addition to serving as a Receiver, Mr. Wiand is also available to serve as a monitor, independent director, arbitrer, trustee or special master in matters where independence, investigative skills and business acumen are required. He also provides fiduciary services as a trustee in estate matters.
