The 20-count indictment alleges that from 1995 to September 2008, Petters used the company and its Petters Co. unit to issue fake documents to entice hedge funds to invest more than $1 billion in phony deals. Petters told investors their money would be used to buy merchandise that would be resold to retailers including Costco Wholesale Corp. Damages from the transactions exceed $2 billion, according to court papers.
