A well-known Frisco wealth manager who hosted a radio show called Dollars & Sense was arrested and booked into Collin County jail on Monday on charges of more than $6 million worth of fraud, money laundering, theft and engaging in organized criminal activity.
In court documents, Texas State Securities Board authorities allege that Bobby Eugene Guess, 65, was selling investments without being a registered securities dealer.
Guess, who authorities say lured retirees and others to his firm's investment forums with fraudulent promises of 9 percent annualized returns, was indicted by a Collin County grand jury on Thursday.
Guess' firm, Texas First Financial, has widely advertised its services on local radio stations, including ESPN Dallas (103.3 FM) and WBAP (820 AM).

It's about built out today and the boom has moved north to the McKinney, Tx area. I'm still about 30 miles northwest and enjoy a nice rural life-style, but it's coming this way. I'll likely be fleeing to a more rural area in the near future. When the sun goes down, I like to hear nature, not cars and trains and loud music.
