On April 7, 20201, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) filed a Complaint against Zachary Horwitz and his media company, 1inMM Capital, LLC, alleging that it perpetrated a $690 million Ponzi Scheme, raising capital from hundreds of investors. A copy of the Complaint can be accessed by clicking here. Zachary Horwitz was also criminally indicted.

The essence of the fraud is that Zachary Horwitz represented that he could acquire licensing and distribution rights in specific movies, mostly in Latin America, and sell those rights to major media companies, including Netflix and HBO. Zachary Horwitz used his profile to provide credibility to each deal and create the aura that he had relationships with the likes of Netflix and HBO.

from friends and family of friends. Zachary Horwitz also used five downstream promoters to solicit investors, including JJMT Capital, LLC, Movie Fund, LLC, SAC Advisory Group, LLC, Vausse Films and Pure Health Enterprises, LLC (hereinafter, the “Promoters”).

The Promoters solicited myriad clients to invest in a series of promissory notes. In the process, the Promoters and Zachary Horwitz made representations to investors that the funds would be used to acquire movie rights in movies that were identified to investors. Investors were provided with fake emails, contracts and term sheets, purportedly reflecting deals with HBO and Netflix to distribute acquired movies. The Promoters and Zachary Horwitz provided updates to investors, suggesting that deals were going well and investors were on track for dividends and above-average payouts. This was all a ruse.

Zachary Horwitz used investor funds to finance his lavish lifestyle, including millions spent on real estate, vacations and gambling. Over time, when pressed by investors regarding the lack of dividends or return on their investment, Zachary Horwitz and the Promoters represented to investors that delays were temporary, COVID driven or were as a result of normal delays in culminating deals with HBO and Netflix.
