Leonard Guyer connected to Ponzi schemer; alleged to have prescribed HGH to columnist

Leonard Guyer, the doctor and founder of the anti-aging clinic alleged in an al-Jazeera report to have supplied Peyton Manning's wife with human growth hormone, was a defendant in a lawsuit with jailed Ponzi schemer Timothy Durham, court records show.

Durham, a former businessman and attorney out of Indiana, is serving a 50-year prison sentence for using the Fair Finance Company in Ohio to bilk more than $200 million out of more than 5,000 investors. Durham was convicted in 2012 of securities and wire fraud, and conspiracy.

Guyer, the Indianapolis physician who treated Manning in 2011 after the quarterback's four neck surgeries, was a "good friend" of Durham's after meeting him in 2000, according to a 2014 federal complaint filed by Brian Bash, a court-appointed Chapter 7 trustee for Fair Finance.
