Judge Hood ruled on April 23, 2010 that assets of Onyx Capital and two other Detroit businessmen frozen after the Securities and Exchange Commission found them stealing $3 million from public pension plans for the City of Detroit and nearby Pontiac, Michigan. In the complaint, the SEC alleged that Roy Dixon, Jr. one of the lead businessmen involving Onyx Capital misused the pension money to pay for a house in the Atlanta area and to pay down mortgages on 40 different rental properties he owns. In addition to the asset freeze, Judge Hood also ordered Onyx Capital and their associates from misusing their investor funds.^[2] Onyx Capital appealed the ruling to the Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals on May 8, 2013.^[3]
