A former Middlebury man has been convicted of multiple felony charges in an investment scheme.

Earl D. Miller was convicted after he, through his companies 5 Star Commercial and 5 Star Capital, committed fraud in the offer and sale of securities by convincing investors to invest in real estate and green savings projects.

They say Miller solicited at least $4.3 million from at least 70 people.

Victims are eligible to receive 25% of their unpaid restitution, up to a maximum of $15,000.
