“A Florida investment adviser was charged Tuesday with selling $8 million of fake Facebook shares ahead of the social network’s highly anticipated public offering, officials said. The Justice Department said Craig Berkman, 71, was arrested on two separate securities fraud schemes involving Facebook shares. Berkman received a total of at least $8 million from these schemes, most of which he ‘misappropriated for his own benefit,’ a Justice Department statement said. Investors discovered the fraud when they tried to redeem their shares in 2012, officials said.”
