It’s been a tough week for Kris Humphries. Rumors of marriage problems, finding out he wasn’t the first choice to be Kim’s NY boyfriend and now, news that someone has been messing with his funds.
Andrey C. Hicks, a Boston-area money manager, allegedly scammed Humphries and others out of hundreds of thousands of dollars with a fraudulent investment scheme.
Hicks, allegedly solicited individuals to invest $1.7 million collectively in a purported billion-dollar hedge fund called Locust Offshore Fund Ltd., and made several false representations of himself and his business in the process, according to the Securities and Exchange Commission.
There’s no official word on how much money Kris invested but per TMZ it’s hundreds of thousands. Kris’ 2011 salary with the New Jersey Nets was $3,200,000, that figure doesn’t include whatever he’s paid to appear on his wife’s reality show. Yikes.
