Troy Wragg Scam

Troy Wragg, 37, over four years bilked investors out of $54 million in a trash-to-energy Ponzi scheme, and perpetrated another scam involving an online dating app called LUVR which he told investors he was about to sell to AOL for $10 million, CBS3 Philly reported.

Wragg’s girlfriend, 36-year-old Amanda Knorr, was a co-conspirator in the massive Bala Cynwyd-based Mantria Corporation scam.

After pleading guilty she was sentenced to 30 months in federal prison and ordered to pay $54 million in restitution in April.

Knorr is currently serving her sentence in Kentucky, the Morning Call reported.
