The state sued 10 people Tuesday who allegedly promoted illegal pyramid schemes while working in the Adams County Justice Center.
The defendants include court clerks, other legal system employees and one former deputy sheriff.
``Pyramid investment schemes are illegal in Colorado,'' Colorado Attorney General Ken Salazar said in a press release announcing the action.
``They eventually always run out of new recruits and collapse, leaving victims in their wake,'' he said.
Salazar spokesman Ken Lane said the investigation is continuing and other lawsuits may be filed.
