DOJ v. Lee

Peter A. Lee allegedly defrauded his vulnerable clients and used funds meant for their well-being for his own personal benefit. According to the DOJ, Lee devised a scheme to defraud his clients of funds for his own personal gain and then concealed his scheme by making false representations to his clients and financial institutions. Lee also used his clients’ funds to repay victims of his prior thefts. The clients he defrauded included decedent estates and a special needs trust. From January 2019 through February 2025, Lee obtained $296,140 in client funds through his fraud scheme.
