The Field Office, in coordination with the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Northern District of California, has arrested a former employee of a San Francisco super‑intelligence company for allegedly installing a covert audio recording device inside a secure executive conference room. The device was positioned to capture sensitive, nonpublic company communications.
SAC Scott Schelble: “Any attempt to illicitly obtain protected information from U.S. super‑intelligence and technology companies threatens both American innovation and the national security interests those advancements support. We will continue working closely with our government and private‑sector partners to identify threats, safeguard critical advancements, and ensure the Bay Area’s innovation ecosystem remains secure.”

Case Update: Edwin Emmett Lickiss, Jr., who pleaded guilty to one count of wire fraud and one count of money laundering in connection with a decades-long Ponzi scheme, was sentenced today to nine years in federal prison. Lickiss, 78, of Danville, California, admitted that he defrauded at least 93 victims of over $9.5 million from 1998 through September 2024. As part of the scheme, Lickiss said that he would invest victims’ money in exclusive, tax-free bonds that offered rates of return up to 30%. Lickiss also claimed that members of his own family had invested in the bonds, that he charged no investment fees because he had already profited so substantially, and that investors could redeem their money at any time. In fact, the bonds did not exist. Lickiss funneled money from later victims to pay earlier investors, consistent with a Ponzi scheme. He also siphoned victim funds to pay personal expenses, including cash withdrawals, home renovations, travel, and payments on vehicles, mortgages, and personal credit cards.

SF Case Update: The founder and CEO of Pacific Private Money, Mark Hanf, and the company’s COO, Nam Phan, have been charged with wire fraud conspiracy tied to a multi‑year scheme that raised more than $100 million from over 175 investors. Both executives allegedly misled investors about the financial condition of Pacific Private Money, concealed significant losses starting as early as 2021, and used new investor funds to pay earlier investors—turning the enterprise into a Ponzi scheme. The company filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in June 2026.

Hanf and Phan appeared in federal court yesterday and waived indictment. Their next court appearances are scheduled for September 23 (Phan) and September 30 (Hanf). Read more: https://ow.ly/Y0Kc50ZIvSO
