Film producers Benjamin McConley of South Florida, Jason Van Eman of Oklahoma, and former Wells Fargo employee Benjamin Rafael of Florida were charged with fraud and money laundering in a fraudulent movie financing scheme.

Hmm, looks like Wells Fargo actually filed a complaint against them in December 2016 for false advertising:
Forrest Capital Partners Inc
Forrest Capital and Co. LLC
Weathervane Productions Inc
WVP Holding LLC
Benjamin McConley
Jason Van Eman

Looks like a former attorney for Secretary of Energy Rick Perry, Tony Buzbee, was also a victim. A victim, at least, of Jason Van Eman (and some other people) not named in the charges above.

The DOJ also deleted their original tweet and replaced it with this one, which contains the working link:
