Once the women had sent money to the pair, Love would sometimes show them their supposed account balance on an app called Pocket Option, prosecutors claim. However, what he was actually showing them was the app’s demo version where users can trade in fictitious funds as a means of learning the fundamentals of investing, according to the complaint.

Usually, Love eventually broke off contact with the alleged victims once they had no more money to invest or started asking questions, the complaint alleges. The alleged victims never got their money back.
In one instance, however, a victim was so disturbed by Love’s threats of physical harm that she sought a restraining order, according to the detention memo. He allegedly told another woman he could “make her disappear,” per the memo.
