Arrest Warrant Issued For Alleged Solar Con Artist

By Jeff Todd
DENVER (CBS4)– The Colorado Attorney General’s office has shut down a Colorado solar energy company, but victims of an alleged scam artist say it’s a move too late to stop Kevin Ryder.
Ryder has been indicted by the Attorney General for 13 counts of securities fraud, and is also accused of scamming 15 Colorado residents in fake solar power deals. Combined, the AG’s investigation shows Ryder has taken $1.2 million from Colorado residents since 2009.
