A New Jersey office supply company owner lured investors by forging contracts with big name clients – including the New York Mets, according to federal prosecutors.
Choice Office Solutions boss Michael Conway even forged team COO Jeffrey Wilpon’s signature in order to dupe two investors into thinking he had a deal with the team, court papers state.
And duped investors apparently failed to notice he misspelled the Mets honcho’s first name as “Jeffery.”
The pair of victims forked over a total of $813,000 based on the Amazin’s premise, court papers state.
Conway was arrested at his Fairfield, NJ, headquarters Wednesday morning and charged with tricking investors out of $3.
