    Darren Berg, was sentenced to 18 years in prison for running a Ponzi scheme in Seattle, that stole $100 million from inverstors through his investment company. Trustees charged with recovering the lost money are trying to track down where those millions went, and according to new legal documents, one of the people who received dirty funds from Berg's Ponzi scheme is John Mayer -- when a booking agency was allegedly paid by Berg's company.
