THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION HAS CHARGED ATLANTA-BASED BUSINESSMAN CHRISTOPHER BROGDON OF MISUSING INVESTOR FUNDS RAISED TO BUY AND RENOVATE SENIOR LIVING FACILITIES—ONE OF THEM PROVIDENCE HEALTH CARE 1011 SOUTH GREEN STREET IN THOMASTON.

THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT CLAIMS BROGDON AMASSED NEARLY $190 MILLION THROUGH DOZENS OF MUNICIPAL BOND AND PRIVATE PLACEMENT OFFERINGS IN WHICH INVESTORS SUPPOSEDLY EARN INTEREST FROM REVENUES GENERATED BY THE SENIOR LIVING FACILITIES BUT BROGDON SECRETLY   COMMINGLED   INVESTOR FUNDS INSTEAD OF USING THE MONEY TO FINANCE THE PROJECT DESCRIBED TO INVESTORS.

THE THOMASTON-UPSON INDUSTRIAL DEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY SERVED AS THE ISSUER OF $8.9 MILLION IN BONDS TO GORDON JENSON HEALTHCARE ASSOCIATION—A NON-PROFIT ORGANIZATION , TO PURCHASE PROVIDENCE HEALTH CARE.


ACCORDING TO A PRESS RELEASE FROM THE IDA—THE AUTHORITY, THE CITY OF THOMASTON, AND UPSON COUNTY ARE NOT FINANCIALLY RESPONSIBLE FOR REPLAYMENT OF THE BONDS , BUT THE IDA IS MONITORING THE SITUATION AS IT DEVELOPS.
