Former “Survivor” contestant Michael Skupin has been charged with possession of child pornography, the Michigan attorney general said Friday.
In all, the 54-year-old was charged with six counts of possession of child sexually abusive materials, along with five counts of larceny by conversion, and one count of racketeering- conducting a criminal enterprise.
The images were discovered as the result of an investigation into a Ponzi scheme that Skupin was allegedly participating in.
According to the attorney general, an investigation was opened on Skupin after victims from his alleged Ponzi scheme contacted a local news reporter. Skupin is accused of recruiting investors and friends to partake in a “gifting scheme” called Pay it Forward, in which victims made $10,000 investments.
