Andrey C. Hicks is a fraudulent investment manager from Boston, Massachusetts, who was charged by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) for misleading investors about a purported hedge fund.1 Hicks falsely claimed to have obtained undergraduate and graduate degrees from Harvard University and to have worked at Barclays Capital, where he allegedly grew his assets under management to $16 billion.1 He and his firm, Locust Offshore Management, LLC, were accused of making numerous misrepresentations to solicit investments in a hedge fund called Locust Offshore Fund, Ltd.1 The SEC alleges that Hicks may have obtained at least $1.7 million from 10 investors and misappropriated at least a portion of these funds for personal expenses.1 A temporary restraining order was issued against Hicks, freezing his assets and those of his advisory firm and hedge fund.1
