It also went to Brooklynn Chandler Willy, their San Antonio affiliate.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Defense attorneys who cross-examined the witnesses, questioned parts of testimony, hoping to lay seeds of doubt with jurors and even offered the idea Ferrum itself was defrauded.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Action between defense attorneys and witnesses got a bit tense at times, with witness Cody Herndon asking Allen\u2019s attorney, Eddie Mendoza, \u201cIs this the gotcha moment?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>IRS special agent explains investigation<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Rebecca Jones investigated Ferrum along with the FBI and the Texas State Securities Board.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">She outlined for Joseph Blackwell, assistant United States attorney, how they looked at bank accounts, self-directed IRAs, Ferrum records, other records and interviews with more than 100 witnesses.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">They looked at Ferrum Capital, Ferrum II and Ferrum IV, which dealt with European bonds.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ferrum Capital dealt with the Collins Asset Group (CAG), which bought defaulted loans. Prosecutors showed Ferrum brought in more than $67 million, but $47 million was sent to CAG.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">People invested in more than one Ferrum entity, she said, adding there was also a \u201csignificant comingling of funds between the entities.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Blackwell asked if there were wire transfers outside of Texas and Jones said there from Wisconsin, Florida, New Mexico and Louisiana.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He asked if Willy was a major source of investors for Ferrum, and Jones said yes.<br \/>They showed affiliate agreements between Willy and Ferrum, signed by both defendants.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Then they outlined what the prosecution called Ferrum IV versions 1.0 and 2.0.<br \/>Ferrum IV 1.0 had 23 investors with one-year notes. They brought in nearly $4 million and paid out $4.46 million.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But Ferrum IV version 2.0 brought $8.8 million and paid out more than $1.7 million \u2013 a loss of more than $7 million.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Then they said more than $3.6 million went to Allen, Willy and Cox:<\/p>\n<p>Allen: $2,298,660.<\/p>\n<p>Willy: $1,060,044<\/p>\n<p>Cox: $258,000.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cHow did 1.0 get repaid?\u201d Blackwell asked.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cFrom 2.0 investors,\u201d Jones said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There was also Ferrum III, which dealt with life insurance.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cDo we see money from Ferrum Capital, Ferrum II and Ferrum IV flowing to Ferrum III to cover premiums?\u201d Blackwell asked, and Jones said yes.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWere they aware their money was used for that?\u201d he asked, and Jones said no.<br \/>Allen\u2019s attorney Anthony Box objected \u2013 saying Blackwell was asking leading questions and Judge Fred Biery sustained Box\u2019s objection.<\/p>\n<p>Read our series on

target=\"_blank\">Update: Cox, Allen, co-owners of Lubbock\u2019s Ferrum Capital, charged in federal court, could face 70 years in prison<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tJuly 9, 2025\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Blackwell and Jones went through a long series of documents showing how a bank account had a low number, money from people came in and it went out to pay other investors or was taken by the defendants.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">They showed notes from Mike Cox accompanying checks to investors on the European bonds thanking them for their patience in getting the money to them and apologizing for the delay. In one note, he wrote \u201cCOVID in Europe set us back.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Then they shifted to discussing Willy, who got into trouble with the Texas State Securities Board, limiting what she could do. She had to show her bank accounts, demonstrating she complied.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Jones showed money going to Cold Moon Holdings, owned by Paula Vaecek. Then the money was sent to Willy.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">During cross-examination, Box asked why the IRS didn\u2019t ask for help from the United States government offices in London, the connection to the European bonds.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThe money was gone,\u201d Jones said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Box pointed out the FBI London office is one of the biggest in entire bureau.<br \/>When Jones outlined where Allen received money, she listed eight companies he owned. Then Box asked if Josh owned a Lubbock company called WGP SPV LLC. If not, it throws off the whole schedule, he said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI\u2019d have to look at the records,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He disputed another payment to Allen saying it would lower the number prosecutors say he made.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Then he talked about Allen\u2019s signature on documents and how Cold Moon Holdings was set up by other people.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cIsn\u2019t it true they utilized Ferrum without Ferrum\u2019s knowledge?\u201d he asked.<br \/>\u201cNot to my knowledge,\u201d Jones said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That\u2019s when Box said individuals committed fraud on Ferrum, causing Blackwell to stand and object, saying Box was making hypothetical comments not based on facts in the case. The judge sustained Blackwell\u2019s objection.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Box went on to claim Ferrum documents were edited, driving his point that \u201cFerrum was also frauded.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Blackwell then shot back on redirect about who owned WGP SVP LLC, showing Josh Allen signing documents showing his involvement with the company with William Pickart at the address used by Allen Financial Services and Ferrum Capital.<\/p>\n<p>Cody Herndon: Once Allen\u2019s best friend<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Herndon took the stand in the afternoon as the prosecution\u2019s first witness who lost money.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He testified meeting Allen at Texas Tech, where they were both in a Christian fraternity called Farmhouse, were roommates, in each other\u2019s weddings \u2013 Allen even officiated at the funeral for Herndon\u2019s grandmother.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe were the best of friends for many years,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Herndon called Allen his financial and spiritual advisor.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When Herndon was leaving a corporate job, he said Allen asked about his 401K and rolling it over to a Provident Trust IRA, a four-year product with 10 percent interest.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Over time, Herndon invested $275,000 with Allen.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Blackwell produced documents showing his money was funneled into Ferrum entities and had his signature. But Blackwell asked if he signed it.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cIt could be my signature, but it\u2019s a little different,\u201d he said, not recalling he signed it.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWas Ferrum ever discussed with you or (Allen\u2019s) ownership?\u201d Blackwell asked. Herndon said no.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Blackwell showed texts between Allen and Herndon, mostly friendly texts between longtime friends that included investment communication.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Eventually, Herndon got a bankruptcy notice about Michael Cox. He texted Allen who said, \u201cMike Cox was in my office until a year ago.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Herndon got another letter and texted Allen saying things were \u201cnot looking good\u201d and asking where the money was.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Allen texted back he was \u201cworking on it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Herndon asked if his money was still there and safe.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Eddie Mendoza, one of three attorneys representing Allen, then cross examined Herndon.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He outlined Herndon has substantial business experience and asked if he had experience working with contracts.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cYou\u2019ve read hundreds,\u201d Mendoza said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Mendoza pointed out Herndon\u2019s account is self-directed and he\u2019s responsible for it.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Mendoza challenged Herndon\u2019s comments he didn\u2019t know about Ferrum, Allen\u2019s ownership of CAG because it was in documents Herndon signed.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThis is the gotcha moment? Are we going to arrive at a point here?\u201d Herndon said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Given Herndon\u2019s business experience he should have researched more, Mendoza said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cA lack of research doesn\u2019t mean they were not disclosed to you,\u201d he said, pointing out part of a document saying, \u201cno payments to lender shall be paid by Ferrum Capital unless Ferrum received from the borrower.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Mendoza then said Herndon signed three times.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cIt\u2019s what you do when you trust your best friend,\u201d Herndon responded, adding \u201cI don\u2019t agree with the way you\u2019re twisting things.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Mendoza wrapped up talking about the investment had a high degree of risk and as an executive, Herndon should know that and it was disclosed.<\/p>\n<p>Georgia attorney who dealt with CAG<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Jason Doss represented people who sued CAG in a class-action suit in 2020. Collins paid $15.8 million out-of-court but denied wrongdoing.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Doss also said Collins tried to kill the lawsuit through a New York filing and Ferrum was in favor of that.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWhich I thought was odd,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">During cross examination, Box pointed out that Doss made $3 million-plus on the CAG suit \u2013 coming out to $3,200 an hour.<\/p>\n<p>Help Lubbock Lights bring you Ferrum trial coverage<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">People in Lubbock have followed the Ferrum Capital case since it began. <\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We were the first locally to report on the Ferrum Capital story and since have done more than 40 stories. Why? These are some of the most-read stories on our site.\u00a0So, if it\u2019s important to you then it\u2019s important to us.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There\u2019s a challenge. The trial is not in Lubbock, but San Antonio and expected to last three weeks. Lubbock Lights doesn\u2019t have a travel budget because the stories we do are almost all in Lubbock.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We plan to cover the Ferrum Capital trial from Friday\u2019s pre-trial hearing to a verdict with stories every day if warranted. We plan to stay at a midscale hotel close to the courthouse and expect it will cost at least $4,000 for hotels and gas. We\u2019d appreciate contributions in any amount and we are a 501(c)3.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So far, we\u2019ve raised just over $1,280, or 32 percent of our goal! Thanks to those who\u2019ve donated.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Thanks for your consideration, and even if you decide not to donate, we still invite you to help us get the word out.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Terry Greenberg<br \/>Editor<\/p>\n<p>  <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/LubbockLightsWebsite\/posts\/pfbid0xhvd17n2aTMJdBvzkR3SwEKV4HvDaBNM7j6yuAFPXZD6gLQ7ZYx5ueExJWE9htQtl\" target=\"_blank\" style=\"display: inline-block; flex: 0 0 auto;\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\"><br \/>\n    <img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/1786532935_896_facebook_yellow_350x350.jpg\" alt=\"Facebook icon\" style=\"width: 60px; height: auto;\"\/><br \/>\n  <\/a><\/p>\n<p>\n\tRelated\n<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/lubbocklights.com\/please-press-the-button-and-become-a-lubbock-lights-supporter\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"96\" height=\"96\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/volunteer_activism_96dp_000000_FILL0_wght400_GRAD0_opsz48.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-11787\" style=\"width:80px\"\/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Related posts\t<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The prosecution\u2019s first day of witnesses in the Joshua Allen and Michael Cox Ferrum Capital trial showed a&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":404456,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[16],"tags":[168,170,169],"class_list":["post-404455","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-lubbock","tag-lubbock","tag-lubbock-headlines","tag-lubbock-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/404455","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=404455"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/404455\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/404456"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=404455"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=404455"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=404455"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
