What's Happening?
Edwin Brant Frost V, the son of a former co-leader of a collapsed Georgia savings and loan firm under investigation for a Ponzi scheme, has become a licensed insurance agent. The firm, First Liberty Building & Loan, allegedly defrauded investors of over $140 million. While Frost V is not named in the SEC complaint, he has been subpoenaed by the Secretary of State’s office. He resigned from the firm in July and has since obtained an insurance producer’s license, marking a new chapter in his professional life.
