Michael French allegedly harassed an ex, then did something really bizarre to shut her up.
Photo Illustration by Erin O'Flynn/The Daily Beast/Getty Images and Lee County Sheriff OfficeWannabe financial guru, 40, was first accused of running a $20 million scam to fund his lavish lifestyle. Then came his arrest for allegedly stalking a woman he met on social media. Now, French is facing new charges, with authorities saying he forged a slew of FBI letters in an attempt to silence a woman he was allegedly harassing online after she dumped him.
Federal prosecutors say Ferensic had nothing to do with the laughably worded letter, and French was charged this month with interstate transmission of threatening communications and cyberstalking and is locked up in Anderson City Jail in South Carolina, where he is from. In total, he “misappropriated at least $13.2 million of investor proceeds to make Ponzi payments to earlier investors and to pay for his personal expenses,” the SEC alleged. The racket started crumbling, the SEC said, when French’s company began defaulting on its interest and principal obligations.
From that day on, prosecutors allege, French waged a vile harassment campaign against the woman and her family at various phone numbers and social media accounts. He used aliases to join her TikTok live streams and posted “disparaging remarks such as, ‘Daddy fucker,’” the complaint alleged. She went to the police and was granted a temporary restraining order.
“We have been notified this week that all charges and all matters related to Michael French are going away,” the letter said.
