Investment Manager Indicted For Anduril Pre-IPO Fraud

Giovanni Pennetta, manager of Sestante Capital, was arrested Sunday at JFK and indicted by the Department of Justice on securities fraud, wire fraud and aggravated identity theft charges for allegedly raising millions through fake pre‑IPO offers tied to non‑public Anduril shares. Prosecutors say he had no access to Anduril stock; the case underscores rising scams as high‑value private tech firms restrict public share distribution.
