The case is being investigated by the FBI's New Orleans Division. The FBI is seeking information that may help identify potential victims of Michael Brian DePetrillo’s fraudulent scheme.

DePetrillo operated a commodities investment fraud scheme and collected over $9.2 million in investment funds from over 60 investors from July 2017 through at least May 2024. DePetrillo made false representations that he would invest the victims’ money in low-risk commodities and guaranteed rates of return through companies he owned called Meteor, LLC; NOLA FX Capital Management, LLC; ELC Enterprise Solutions, LLC; and Argosapolis LLC. In many instances, DePetrillo used the money for his personal gain and personal expenses.
