As the state?s attorney general at the time, Kelly Ayotte was responsible for going after criminals like those at Financial Resources Mortgage, a company whose executives? alleged Ponzi scheme bilked at least 150 investors out of more than $20 million. According to a recent attorney general report, the Ponzi scheme has ?had a substantial and long lasting impact on the investors who, in my cases, lost their life savings.?

The report states that, under Ayotte, the attorney general?s office repeatedly missed opportunities to uncover and stop the Ponzi scheme.

Despite the report?s findings, Kelly Ayotte refuses to release the entirety of her emails and other key documents related to the massive fraud case. On May 11, documents from Ayotte?s time in office were released to the public, yet none of them referred to FRM, instead revealing correspondence from Ayotte related to office pizza parties and other administrative functions.
