Claus Foerster, a financial advisor from South Carolina, has been indicted on fraud charges. Mr. Foerster was barred by FINRA from the securities industry in 2014 after allegations that he was running a Ponzi scheme. Foerster allegedly ran the Ponzi scheme for 14 years and was able to defraud his clients out of $2.8 million.
