The comment below that this is like Bernie Madoff is not right as far as I can see. This is a different situation, with different facts—including that we have, as yet, no idea what those facts are! Your situation will also be individual—if you took the funds as a limited company is different to if you took them individually, for example, with different effects most likely. It is also entirely unknown what is happening. Nothing has been made clear officially, no one knows what’s going on and you—importantly—had nothing to do with any of that stuff that is being potentially alleged (not yet actually alleged by any authority).
I’m not giving legal advice here. I’m just stating that being calm is the right response and that googling Bernie Madoff (as suggested below), won’t most likely be of any help.
