Christopher W. Burns, a white male with brown hair and brown eyes, weighing approximately 240 pounds and bearing a tattoo of three interlaced black triangles on his left forearm, is the subject of an active federal manhunt. He is wanted by authorities for allegedly orchestrating a multi-million dollar mail fraud and investment scam. Prosecutors accuse Burns, a former registered investment adviser, of deceiving dozens of victims by promising substantial returns on a lending program backed by collateral that either did not exist or was worth significantly less than advertised. The alleged scheme netted at least $10 million from those targeted. Burns has been at large since September 24, 2020, when he departed his residence in Berkeley Lake, Georgia, just one day before he was scheduled to surrender business documents to the Securities and Exchange Commission. His vehicle was subsequently discovered abandoned in Dunwoody, Georgia, and federal agents recently added him to the FBI’s Most Wanted Fraudsters List. The FBI is offering a $150,000 reward for information leading to his arrest and conviction. Individuals with any details regarding his whereabouts are urged to contact the FBI tip line at 1-800-225-5324 or submit an online report through official channels. Authorities continue to emphasize that Burns remains at large and encourage the public to remain vigilant.
