David Hu (胡大韦 Hu Dawei), cofounder of IIG Capital, served as its chief investment officer (CIO). In April 2022, Hu was sentenced to 12 years in prison for running a Ponzi scheme, defrauding and scamming customers of more than $120 million. Moreover, Hu fabricated documents to hide his financial losses. Hu's partner Martin Silver was also found guilty of running the Ponzi scheme.

David Hu's case was handled by the Securities and Commodities Task Force and the United States Department of Justice (DOJ). Attorneys Drew Skinner, Negar Tekeei, and Alex Rossmiller were in charge of prosecuting Hu, and Judge Alvin K. Hellerstein sentenced Hu to 12 years in prison. The FBI and U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) also assisted with the investigation.
