TEXAS JURY CONVICTS BROTHERS IN $240 MILLION CATTLE INVESTMENT FRAUD THAT TARGETED MORE THAN 2,200 VICTIMS
A federal jury in Fort Worth has convicted brothers Joshua Robert Link and Jason Allen Link for their roles in a $240 million cattle investment fraud operated through Agridime LLC. Prosecutors proved that the company collected money from more than 2,200 victims nationwide while selling contracts tied to roughly 60,000 more cattle than it actually controlled, and they said investor funds were used to pay earlier purchasers, company expenses, commissions and personal expenditures. The brothers were convicted of wire fraud, conspiracy and money laundering charges and are scheduled to be sentenced on March 4, 2027.
