As we told you in February, authorities in Milledgeville, Georgia reportedly arrested Grant for allegedly stealing money from several clients while he was affiliated with GFG Strategic Advisors.

After one client invested $225,000 with Dean Grant Financial, Dean Grant purportedly wrote checks to himself for amounts ranging between $10,000 and $25,000, according to reports.

The tip to the authorities came from a local estate attorney who was representing one of the clients, and reported the missing account statements, according to news reports.

A few weeks later, Grant was reportedly hit with 14 additional charges on allegations he took an additional $785,000 from three customers totaling $1.3 million.
