Oil and Gas Investment Seems Attractive, But Is it Credible?

I ran across a solicitation for investors to join a certain company that is promising a return of 1.19% daily, or (1.0119)^365 per year, = 7503% = 75.03 times your investment.  $20K becomes more than $1.5 million a year later.

Hmmm.  I don’t know much about criminal law, in this case fraud, but aren’t the purveyors of this investment going to wind up in prison?
