MEMPHIS, TN—Michael G. Brown, age 56, of Alpharetta, GA, has been charged in a three count indictment with wire and mail fraud, announced U.S. Attorney Edward L. Stanton III.

The indictment alleges that beginning in October 2010 and continuing until September 2013, Brown was owner and C.E.O. of Valkry Corporation and Exotic Cars South, which offered exotic cars such as Lamborghinis, Ferraris, Rolls Royces, Bentleys and Maybachs for sale. During this time period, Brown engaged in a scheme to defraud by obtaining payment for orders of these high end vehicles, which he then failed to deliver.
