The FBI said it has arrested Keith Lawrence Middlebrook, whose acting credits include small roles in films including Iron Man 2 and TV series like Entourage. He is being charged with fraud for allegedly soliciting investments in a company he claimed would be used to market pills that prevent coronavirus infections and a shot that cures Covid-19.
The arrest came after a criminal complaint was filed late Wednesday in U.S. District Court in Los Angeles on one count of attempted wire fraud, a felony that could see him sent to prison for 20 years.
Middlebrook was taken into custody during a meeting in which he delivered pills to an undercover agent posing as an investor.
