Story summary

Siddharth Jawahar, the founder of Swiftarc Capital LLC in Texas, was sentenced to 11 years in prison for running a $35 million Ponzi scheme that defrauded around 64 victims from July 2016 through December 2023. Prosecutors mentioned Travis Kelce, a tight end for the Kansas City Chiefs, as one of the scheme's victims during Jawahar’s sentencing in St. Louis federal court on Tuesday. Jawahar admitted to taking over $35 million from investors but only investing about $10 million and using the rest for personal luxuries like private jets and luxury apartments. He was ordered to pay $31.35 million in restitution, though specifics of Kelce’s involvement remain undisclosed.
