A once prominent Atlanta area financial advisor and former radio host remains one of the FBIโ€™s most wanted fugitives after disappearing nearly six years ago amid allegations of a multi-million-dollar investment fraud scheme.

According to todayโ€™s โ€œMost Wanted Fraudsterโ€ FBI-Atlanta Facebook Post, 43 year old Christopher W. Burns, is wanted for his involvement in a mail fraud scheme that investigators say defrauded dozens of victims out of at least $10 million. The FBI is currently offering a reward of up to $150,000 for information leading to his arrest and conviction.

Before his disappearance, Burns was a well-known figure in Georgiaโ€™s financial community. He served as CEO of Dynamic Money and hosted The Chris Burns Show on WSB Radio, where he discussed financial planning and investment strategies. According to the SEC, Burns purchased airtime for the program and was not an employee of WSB Radio.

Federal prosecutors allege that Burns operated several businesses, including Dynamic Money, Investus Advisers, Investus Financial, and Peer Connect. According to court filings, investors were told their money would be used in a low-risk โ€œpeer-to-peerโ€ lending program backed by collateral and personal guarantees. Authorities say those representations were false and that investor funds were instead used to repay earlier investors, support business operations, and fund Burnsโ€™ personal lifestyle.

The investigation came to a head in September 2020. Burns reportedly disappeared on September 24, 2020, one day before he was scheduled to provide documents to the Securities and Exchange Commission as part of an ongoing investigation. His vehicle was later found abandoned in Dunwoody, Georgia. Despite efforts by law enforcement, Burns has not been located.

In 2020, authorities charged Burns with mail fraud. A federal grand jury later returned an indictment charging him with multiple counts of wire fraud, mail fraud, and money laundering related to the scheme.

The FBI describes Burns as 6โ€™2โ€ tall, approximately 240 pounds, with brown hair and brown eyes. He is a registered investment advisor and has a tattoo on his left forearm consisting of three black interlaced triangles. His last known residence was in Berkeley Lake, Georgia.

Anyone with information regarding Burnsโ€™ whereabouts is encouraged to contact the FBI or submit a tip through the agencyโ€™s website. The FBI continues to seek information from potential victims and members of the public who may know where Burns is located.

As with all criminal cases, the charges against Burns are allegations, and he is presumed innocent until proven guilty in court.

We recently had the opportunity to tour the Save The Horses Ranch right here in Pickens County. Founded by Cheryl Flanagan, Save the Horses is a 40-acre nonprofit rescue and boarding facility that works closely with North Georgia animal control agencies and the Georgia Department of Agriculture to provide care for animals in need.

While horses are at the heart of the organization, the ranch is home to much more. During our visit, we met donkeys, a zonkey (a zebra-donkey hybrid), chickens, goats, llamas, pig, and sheep. Every animal on the property has a unique story and a second chance at life.

The horses themselves represent a wide variety of breeds, ranging from Draft Horses and Paso Finos to even some of former President Jimmy Carterโ€™s draft mules. Itโ€™s truly a special place filled with dedicated volunteers and remarkable animals.

This Saturday, June 6, the Talking Rock Bronco Stampede will be donating a portion of the event proceeds to Save the Horses. If youโ€™re planning to attend, consider purchasing a shirt, enjoying the festivities, and bringing your Bronco to support a great cause.

You can also make a direct donation or learn more about the organization by visiting their website.

Save the Horses is always looking for volunteers. Cheryl shared that they especially enjoy working with veterans, providing an opportunity to spend time with the animals, connect with others, and enjoy the peaceful environment of the ranch.

A big thank you to Cheryl Flanagan for taking the time to show us around and share the incredible work being done for animals across North Georgia.

This weekโ€™s social media activity is proof that life in Jasper is never boring.

The most talked about post of the week was a satirical AI-generated image of Downtown Jasper, from Larry Owenโ€™s. He proposed what would Jasper look like through the eyes of someone who only reads local Facebook posts. The image featured everything from helicopters and fighter jets to Bigfoot, mushroom clouds, roaming livestock, protest signs, a new Publix, and even another Dollar General coming soon. Residents spent days zooming in on every detail, tagging friends, and laughing at how many local headlines and community debates were cleverly worked into one picture. Some thought of ideas to throw in the picture.

Nature also reminded everyone that small-town life comes with its own surprises. Havocโ€™s Journey shared photos of an unexpected visitor, a copperhead snake discovered in their garage after a busy day at the ballfield. Fortunately, the snake was safely captured and relocated back into the woods, but the post sparked plenty of discussion and reminders to stay alert as warmer weather brings more wildlife activity.

Politics remained part of the local conversation as well. A post shared by Jasper, GA News announcing a community meet-and-greet with gubernatorial candidate Burt Jones at Appalachian Gun, Pawn, Range & Training generated plenty of engagement. The event provided residents an opportunity to meet the candidate, ask questions, and have face-to-face conversations about issues important to Pickens County and Georgia voters.

From AI humor and wildlife encounters to political discussions, this weekโ€™s top posts once again reflected the unique mix of community, conversation, and character that makes Jasper, Georgia what it is.

We have raised $600.00- Lets meet this goal and get our local neighbor her smile back!

Hello Jasper
We have a chance to come together for someone who has spent years showing up for others.

A local woman has quietly stepped in as a caretaker for children in her family during a time of tragedy and crisis, without fanfare or recognition. She works hard, puts others first, and has carried more than her share of responsibility with strength and grace. She has already raised her own children and started over with 2 youngsters.

Due to a nutrient deficiency in early childhood, she faced serious dental issues that led to the removal of all her teeth this past January. Good Samaritan is able to provide her with a new set of teeth at a greatly reduced cost, but itโ€™s still more than she can afford.

Weโ€™re hoping to raise $1,600 to cover the dentures, plus an additional $500โ€“$600 to help with aftercare and related expenses.

We want to help restore comfort, confidence, health, and dignity for someone who has given so much of herself for others.

If youโ€™re able to give, no matter the amount, it will make a real difference. And if you canโ€™t give right now, sharing this post helps more than you know.

Letโ€™s show what Jasper is made of. Letโ€™s take care of one of our own.

A gofundme would take a good portion of the funds so Jasper, Ga News will simply take Venmo, Cash or Zelle to directly pay the expense. DM for other options .

Jasper is looking at a mostly pleasant week ahead. We may see a few isolated showers or thunderstorms this afternoon, but after that, drier weather moves in.

Expect highs in the upper 70s to mid-80s through the week, with partly sunny skies and comfortable mornings in the 50s and 60s.

Enjoy the dry spell.
