A Hawkins County man has been indicted on
charges related to an investment crime, according to a joint
investigation by special agents with the Tennessee Bureau of
Investigation and the Rogersville Police Department.
According to authorities, Kim Owen Alley was found to have operated a
scheme from 2013 to 2017 in which he solicited investors for a foreign
exchange venture. Further investigation revealed that he misused money
obtained by investors, keeping a portion of it for personal use. The

in Tennessee.
Alley was charged with one count of theft over $60,000 and two counts of
unlawful business practice.
