Greenwood was indicted in 2009 along with business partner Stephen Walsh. The investment manager was accused by the U.S. Department of Justice of defrauding investors. Greenwood pleaded guilty in 2010 to running a fraudulent scheme, according to the Department of Justice, while Walsh pleaded guilty in April 2014. Greenwood, who resigned as North Salem supervisor, after his arrest is scheduled to be sentenced on Dec. 3, according to lohud.com.

Greenwood's legal trouble made headlines following his 2009 arrest. The Wall Street Journal, at the time, noted Greenwood's other local roles in North Salem, including having served as treasurer at a church and for the Ruth Keeler Memorial Library.
