CBOE

Alvin Wilkinson once worked as director of the Chicago Board Options Exchange. Today, he’s facing seven years in prison, according to a statement from the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Northern District of Illinois. Wilkinson swindled millions from unsuspecting investors over a 17-year period. He faced charges of mail fraud and wire fraud in 2017. Among the at least 30 victims of his Ponzi-type scheme were friends, family, and colleagues.
