As per the gathered documents, O'Leary and Harrington used a "predatory fraud scheme" to have their alleged victims hire one of two companies, InventureX or Ideazon

The wannabe entrepreneurs said that they were promised to receive help for crowdfunding once they paid either company, but they allegedly never received the assistance after giving up their funds.

According to the legal docs reviewed by TMZ, Harrington, 64, is "a partner and primary executive of InventureX," and O'Leary, 67, allegedly "endorsed and recommended" the same two companies. 

The alleged victims also claim that InventureX and Ideazon might not even really exist and alleged that they could both be a front for scamming upstart investors.
