GLEN CLOVE CREW: Four People From Long Island And A Brooklyn Man Are Charged In An $8.4 Million "Boiler Room" Operation

MONEY LAUNDERING: Robert Lenard Booth, Michael D'urso, Alyssa D'urso, Jay Garnock and Antonella Chiaramonte are each charged with conspiracy to commit securities fraud and operate unlicensed money transmitting businesses, conspiracy to commit wire fraud and conspiracy to commit money laundering.

Michael D'urso, Alyssa D'urso, Garnock and Chiaramonte are also charged with operating an unlicensed money transmitting business.

Booth is from Brooklyn. The other four suspects are all from Glen Cove.

Prosecutors say Booth allegedly ran a boiler room operation in Thailand claiming to be a Manhattan investment firm.

The group then allegedly used fake identities, webpages, email addresses and phone numbers to support the scheme.

The U.S. attorney says the scheme stole more than $1 million from investors believing they were buying securities in privately held and publicly traded American companies.
