New Jersey authorities say dozens of investors defrauded by convicted penny stock tycoon Robert Brennan will soon be receiving some restitution.

State Attorney General Paula Dow announced today that checks totaling $1.54 million were being mailed to 72 investors.

That comes after the New Jersey Bureau of Securities won a $45 million judgment against Brennan in 1999 and then began a protracted effort to track down assets they say Brennan had hidden, including a pension fund he had set up for himself.

Dow said investors who were defrauded by Brennan have until May 31 to submit claims for restitution with the court-appointed receiver overseeing the settlements.
