Montana is one of four U.S. states with a restitution fund for eligible victims of security fraud.

The Federal Trade Commission says that in 2023, “consumers reported losing more than $4.6 billion to investment scams nationwide.”

While most of the time, the money is gone for good, Montanans can find help through the “Lynne Egan Memorial Securities Restitution Assistance Fund,” previously known as the “Securities Restitution Assistance Fund.”
