Scott Brooks, 52, pleaded guilty to 17 charges, including six counts of fraud, after taking over $1 million from six victims between 2010 and 2018. His fraudulent activities, which involved impersonating lawyers and fabricating investment opportunities in the oil and gas sector, led to significant financial losses for his victims. Brooks had a history of deception, including using his teenage son’s bank account to facilitate transactions, and is scheduled for sentencing later this year.
