📰 News we're reading

• Federal prosecutors say Colorado man ignored warnings, promoted nationwide Ponzi scheme (cbsnews.com) — A Northern Colorado financial planner was sentenced by a Denver federal judge to more than 12 years in prison for promoting an illegal tax shelter and later running a Ponzi-style investment fund. IRS investigators from the Denver Field Office say his schemes left tens of millions in unpaid federal taxes and millions in client losses, though some restitution and seized funds will go back to victims.
   

• 2 uninjured after small plane crash near Hudson (kdvr.com) — A small plane crashed near Hudson on Saturday morning, but both people on board walked away without injuries after getting out on their own before first responders arrived. Reported out of Denver, the Hudson Fire Protection District secured the rural crash scene and then turned the investigation over to the Weld County Sheriff’s Office. Details on the cause have not yet been released.
