The man who headed an Austin investment firm is indicted on multiple charges Tuesday following a lengthy investigation by the Securities Exchange Commission.

According to KVUE's exclusive news partner the Austin American-Statesman, a federal grand jury indicted Kurt Barton on 33 counts, including wire fraud, securities fraud, and money laundering.

Barton headed Triton Financial.

In 2009 the SEC began investigating Triton and a judge appointed a receiver to oversee the firm's assets.
