Montana State Auditor's Office is investigating Mr. Curtis as part of an alleged Ponzi scheme in which investors across the world are said to have been duped out of millions of dollars. The auditor alleges Mr. Curtis ran that initiative jointly with convicted money launderer and fraudster Daniel Two Feathers, Shawn Swor, Terrence Paulin, Eric Schultz and five companies or trusts connected to them. Mr. Curtis is accused of 24 violations and Harvest Investment Holdings – of which he is chairman.

In February 2009, Mr. Curtis, 44, of Whale View Lane, Warwick, appeared in Magistrates' Court to answer charges resulting from the Bermuda Police investigation. These were operating an investment company without a licence between March 2007 and December 2008; and making a statement, promise or forecast which he knew to be false between August 2008 and December 2008.
