The Commodity Futures Trading Commission has filed a case against Anthony Ramunno, Jr., CEO of Roswell, Georgia-based Renaissance Asset Management. Ramunno and Renaissance have been barred from destroying any documents.

Investors had become suspicious that the pool of investment dollars under Ramunno's care wasn't quite the $32 million Renaissance claimed. An audit of the firm only identified about $4million and according to the CFTC complaint, Ramunno subsquently contacted the FBI offices in Atlanta and admitted committing fraud.
