Ross Mandell, known as the “Bad Boy of Wall Street,” built a financial empire by taking multiple companies public, including Sky Capital Holdings and Sky Capital Enterprises on the London Stock Exchange, with his firms at one point valued near $400 million and his personal net worth reportedly topping $100 million. The government claimed that between 1998 and 2006 he and associates raised about $140 million through a “boiler room” scheme, spending investor funds on private jets, luxury goods, and entertainment. He was indicted in 2009, convicted in 2011, and in 2012 sentenced to 12 years in prison and ordered to forfeit $50 million. His case was later profiled on American Greed in “The Sky’s the Limit.”
