Brooklyn-based Stanley Jean Gilles is now facing multiple lawsuits in Nassau County Supreme Court, deepening the controversy surrounding his alleged Ponzi scheme that has reportedly defrauded numerous investors while using prominent Haitian entertainers to build credibility.
One of the newest lawsuits, filed by Core Funding Source LLC on May 27, 2025, names both Jean Gilles and his business, Jean Gilles Development LLC. Although the full complaint is not yet publicly available, the case centers around a financial dispute, likely involving loans or investment capital tied to one of Gilles’ many projects. The court has confirmed a proof of service, meaning both parties were officially notified and are now expected to respond.
Another lawsuit has been reported involving 1st Alliance Group LLC against Jean Gilles Capital LLC and Stanley Jean Gilles. While this second filing has yet to appear in court databases, multiple sources suggest it involves another financier raising concerns over missing funds, breached contracts, or fraudulent business practices.
These legal actions come amid serious allegations that Gilles has been running a Ponzi-style investment scheme. According to multiple victims, Gilles promised unrealistic returns, claiming investments would double or triple in a short amount of time. To gain trust, he allegedly relied on endorsements from high-profile Haitian celebrities and entertainers.
These lawsuits could mark the beginning of significant legal fallout for Gilles. The case filed by Core Funding Source is active and may soon reveal details about the financial dealings at the heart of the dispute. If the second lawsuit from 1st Alliance Group is confirmed and others follow, it could result in asset freezes, civil penalties, or even criminal charges.
What’s clear is that a pattern is emerging. A man, backed by familiar faces, allegedly persuaded people in the Haitian community to invest without doing the proper research. And now, many of them are left financially devastated, while Gilles is nowhere to be found.
This case serves as a harsh reminder: before investing, especially in high-return promises, verify licenses, request official documentation, and don’t let celebrity endorsements replace proper due diligence.
