Controversy surrounding MIG Records and Henry Jones

In the early 2000s, Lau received a record deal from Henry Jones of MIG Records. Jones used the proceeds from Tri Energy to fund his MIG Records enterprise. The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission filed a suit against Henry Jones and argued successfully that Jones was operating Tri Energy as a Ponzi scheme. Although Jones claimed Lau had nothing to do with the scheme and that usage of Lau's bank account was just an innocent mistake, Lau was named a Relief Defendant and ordered to pay a disgorgement of $200,000 plus prejudgment interest of $20,000.
