Agents arrested Daniel J. Parrilli and an accomplice, 54-year-old Christopher R. Andersen, 54, of Westmont within the past week. The two told investors they ran a business that purported to buy, sell and produce films, comic books and other forms of intellectual property called Sundown Entertainment Inc. out of Westmont. However, FBI officials said the two actually misled investors with promissory notes based on revenue they expected to receive and promised anywhere from 25 percent to 100 percent in returns over periods as short as seven days. The charges carry up to 20 years in prison and fines up to $250,000.
