Cut to the juicy part... Kim also allegedly stole more than $435,000 from the condominium homeowners association for the East Village building where he was living, using the funds to continue to trade futures on behalf of the commodities pool and to make payments to investors in another hedge fund he had operated since 2000, the CFTC said. He was charged with grand larceny and forgery last year by the Manhattan District Attorney’s office in connection with the alleged theft of funds from the condo association. http://blogs.wsj.com/metropolis/2011/02/15/prosecutors-east-village-man-behind-ponzi-scheme/

THIS is the best part: "Brian Kim, who had appeared on CNBC in the past as an Asian futures derivatives trading expert . . . "

Gotta love those "experts".
