Alberto Vilar, a technology investor whose fund soared in the 1990s and later crashed, was charged on Friday with running scams to defraud investors and with misappropriating $5 million from an unnamed investor. Vilar and his partner, Gary Tanaka, were each charged on three counts of scheming to defraud, obtain money by false pretence and wire investor funds across state lines with the intent of converting the money to personal use.
