Amit U. Mathur, 35, of 3 Sunflower Circle, Shrewsbury, was charged in connection with a four-year scheme in which he held himself out as a savvy hedge fund manager who consistently outperformed the major stock market indices, according to an indictment returned in Boston yesterday. His investment advisory company - Entrust Capital Management Inc. of Worcester - was shut down in April 2005 when the Securities and Exchange Commission charged him and a partner with misappropriating $3.6 million in clients' money, spending it on gambling activities, car payments, credit car bills, New England Patriots season tickets, jewelry and clothing. -- Worcester Telegram & Gazette Posted by the Boston Globe City & Region Desk at 12:01 PM
