Texas couple launches 2,000-mile bike ride to spotlight fraud victim relief

Aaron and Rebecca Novinger have started their third annual Pedaling Against Ponzis ride from the Dallas-Fort Worth area to Washington, D.C., using a human-powered velomobile to raise awareness for Ponzi scheme victims and IRS Form 4684 Section C. The effort pairs a cross-country advocacy ride with a petition drive aimed at building support for fraud recovery tools and victims. Why it matters: - Ponzi scheme victims can face long-term financial damage that goes beyond the initial theft. - The Novingers are trying to make more families, advisors, and lawmakers aware of IRS Form 4684 Section C, which can provide up to a 95% income credit on losses tied to fraud. - The ride also seeks signatures for PonziRelief.org to show nationwide support for fraud victims.
