But it doesn\u2019t answer the question of how much money can the victims get back?<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI was ecstatic. I was so happy that they were convicted because they know what they did,\u201d said one of the Ferrum victims, Karen Aguilar of Helotes.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThey knew the impact it would make on people and they just disregarded everybody because of their greediness,\u201d Aguilar added.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Her attorney, Matthew King of San Antonio, said his reaction to the guilty verdicts was \u201cPleasure, satisfaction!\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cObviously it doesn\u2019t get anyone\u2019s money back,\u201d King said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But it\u2019s a step in the direction of \u201cfair punishment,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Shari Pulman, a San Antonio attorney, who attended some of the trial, said, \u201cI was thrilled \u2013 thrilled because justice was served and thrilled because this whole thing took such an emotional toll on my clients.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">She\u2019s just one of the many attorneys working on behalf of Ferrum victims in multiple courts.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThis gives them hopefully some sense of vindication \u2013 they\u2019re not vindictive people \u2013 but some sense of closure that the right thing happened,\u201d Pulman said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ed Price from Lubbock is another attorney working for the victims.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI was not surprised. I thought this was going to be a conviction from \u2018day one\u2019 once we got through all the material and saw what they\u2019d done,\u201d Price said.<\/p>\n<p>Remarkable misunderstanding<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Allen and Cox were convicted of conspiracy and securities fraud. Prosecutors said they used Ferrum Capital and related companies as a Ponzi scheme \u2013 taking nearly $67 million from people mostly in the Lubbock and San Antonio areas. They\u2019ll be sentenced at a later date to no more than 70 years in prison.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Their defense strategy at trial was \u201cinteresting\u201d but not effective, Price said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Allen\u2019s defense team said every penny that was supposed to go to another company (Collins Asset Group) got there. Cox\u2019s defense was that he was a good guy who would never intentionally hurt other people.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI believe that they were convinced of Josh Allen\u2019s guilt just immediately. I think the defense that Michael Cox put on might have given them pause to discuss it a little bit for him. But in the end, they saw the truth and they did the right thing,\u201d Price said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The defense strategies showed a \u201cremarkable misunderstanding,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cAs financial advisors, they are supposed to take the best interest of the folks they represent to heart and make investments that are good for those people \u2013 not good for Josh Allen and Michael Cox. They didn\u2019t do that,\u201d Price said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Aguilar said the same thing of Allen and Cox\u2019s codefendant Brooklynn Willy, who pleaded guilty this year. Willy will be sentenced at a later date.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cBrooklynn took just about everything I had,\u201d Aguilar said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Aguilar had to unretire and go back to work. The contract on her current job is up.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI still suffer the consequences of what she\u2019s done. I\u2019m having to live a very simple life because who wants to hire somebody that\u2019s 70 years old now, you know?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u2018Dig up every dime\u2019<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Price said if Allen and Cox want any grace at sentencing from Fred Biery, U.S. District Court judge, they need to cooperate with the recovery effort.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThey said they wanted a trial, and they got it,\u201d Price said, also pointing out that certain developments in the trial seemed to offend and upset the judge.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">LubbockLights.com <a href=\"https:\/\/lubbocklights.com\/jury-doesnt-take-long-to-convict-allen-cox-on-all-four-federal-charges-then-judge-gives-them-stern-lecture-from-the-bench\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">covered the verdict here<\/a>. <\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">His advice is this: \u201cCome forward and say, \u2018Look, we can come up with $20 million or whatever it is that they can dig up. \u2026 They need to dig up every dime they can and voluntarily surrender to the court as restitution. If they got offshore bank accounts, if they got a stash somewhere, selling their houses, I don\u2019t know \u2013 but they need to do anything they can to convince that judge that they\u2019re sorry and they want to make amends.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">LubbockLights.com asked Aguilar how much of her $450,000 she might get back.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI have no idea. Nobody\u2019s given me any figures on anything,\u201d Aguilar said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Before Ferrum defaulted, she said she got back $86,000 \u2013 adding, \u201cIt\u2019s very disheartening.

And I didn\u2019t leave until it ended because this is what I wanted to see happen,\u201d Aguilar said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Often non-violent federal offenders are allowed to remain free until their sentencing dates.

It\u2019s not going to be there,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p>Pursuing money for the victims<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The morning after a jury convicted Allen and Cox, federal officials vowed to do all they could to get restitution for the victims.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Pulman said, \u201cI don\u2019t know on the criminal side how restitution is given to the victims. That would not be a question that I could answer. We\u2019re still pursuing many of the parties that are higher up on the Ponzi scheme hierarchy than Cox and Allen.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">King said, \u201cIt\u2019s not one source paying everybody back. It\u2019s potentially several different mechanisms to get the money and get it back in the hands of the victims.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Separate from the federal case, Ferrum was put under a court-ordered receiver, John Patrick Lowe of San Antonio.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Lowe is also working to get money back for victims.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Price said that\u2019s important. Much of the Ferrum money went to Austin-based Collins Asset Group (CAG). CAG filed for bankruptcy in 2025.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One company with which CAG did business \u2013 New York-based Metropolitan Partners Group Administration LLC \u2013 sued Ferrum this year. Metropolitan claims Ferrum was overpaid for its loans to CAG.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Metropolitan wants $10 million or more. But that\u2019s not all.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Separately in the CAG bankruptcy, Metropolitan claims it owns $31 million currently under dispute in the CAG bankruptcy. The bankruptcy trustee (Ron Satija) is pursuing the disputed money.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And the bankruptcy judge ruled \u2013 for now \u2013 putting a hold on the $31 million in June.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That does not mean the trustee gets the money and it certainly does not mean Ferrum victims get the money. It does mean the money is not going anywhere until the courts can figure out the dispute.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Even if the trustee can hold on to the disputed money, it could eventually be distributed to multiple creditors \u2013 not just the Ferrum receiver.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">King said, \u201cThere would still be a shortfall.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As for Ferrum victims, King said, \u201cIt\u2019s highly, highly likely that they\u2019re going to end up with fractions of what they put in.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But King promised the lawyers are not done looking for money and not done litigating.<\/p>\n<p>Here\u2019s where it stands for now<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Lowe filed a quarterly report in July showing more than $2.7 million in the bank.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But Lowe\u2019s attorney, Royal Lea, said that\u2019s now up to $2.9 million as of Wednesday.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Lowe filed a lawsuit against 65 people who were \u201cnet winners\u201d from the \u201cFerrum Ponzi scheme.\u201d He\u2019s seeking to get back ill-gotten profits paid to some at the expense of others.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Up until recently he was willing to settle out of court for 50 percent of the profit some folks made early on with Ferrum.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cTo date, 40 of the defendants in the Net Winner Lawsuit have accepted the Receiver\u2019s 50 percent offer and have paid the Receiver a total of $1,301,017.40 in settlements,\u201d the quarterly report said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Lea said there\u2019s one more very important detail for Ferrum victims.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThe deadline for investors to submit their claims in the receivership is coming up,\u201d Lea said. And not all of them have done it yet.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ferrum victims have until September 3 to fill out a claim form \u2013 which you can find <a href=\"https:\/\/lubbocklights.com\/ferrum-capital-investors-have-until-september-3-to-file-a-claim-heres-how\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">on LubbockLights.com<\/a> or <a href=\"https:\/\/royallealaw.com\/ferrum-claim-information\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">on royallealaw.com<\/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":"Tuesday\u2019s guilty verdict against Joshua Allen and Michael Cox gave victims of Lubbock-based Ferrum Capital joy and relief.&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":412080,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[16],"tags":[168,170,169],"class_list":["post-412079","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\/412079","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=412079"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/412079\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/412080"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=412079"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=412079"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=412079"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
