DINAR: Co-owner of BB&T headquarters guilty in money laundering scheme; conviction could mean forfeiture for the building
The co-owner of the BB&T Financial Center property in downtown Winston-Salem has been convicted of mail and wire fraud conspiracy, as well as multiple counts of mail and wire fraud.
A federal jury in the Northern District of Georgia found Tyson "Ty" Rhame guilty on 11 of 13 counts Wednesday following a five-week trial.
The BB&T building has been listed as a potential forfeiture target for the U.S. government if Rhame was convicted. U.S. attorneys could not be reached for immediate comment on whether the BB&T building remains in jeopardy.
Rhame, 53, has shared ownership in the BB&T headquarters building with Charlotte investor Ray Gee. Gee, who is not involved in the case, could not be reached for immediate comment.
Gee and Rhame paid $60 million for the building in December 2014, nearly $26 million more than its tax value.
BB&T spokesman David White has pointed to a statement from Gee attorney Reg Hamel, who said the indictment “won’t in any way affect the short-term or long-term operation” of the building.
On Tuesday, White said "we wouldn’t have anything to add to the story."
Also convicted were Frank Bell and James Shaw.
Rhame served as founder of Sterling Currency Group LLC of Atlanta, which had been listed among the nation’s largest sellers of Iraq’s currency, the dinar.
Shaw, 55, was a co-owner of Sterling and Bell, 55, served as chief operating officer. Defendant Terrence Keller, an alleged paid promoter of Sterling, was acquitted of all charges at trial.
Rhame and Bell also were convicted of making false statements to federal law enforcement agents. The jury acquitted the defendants of money laundering charges.
“These executives engaged in a lengthy campaign to defraud investors by spreading lies about the investment potential of the Iraqi dinar,” acting U.S. attorney Kurt Erskine said in a statement.
