Jørn Ronnie Tagge (born 2 June 1969) is a Norwegian convicted fraudster, known as one of the people responsible for the so-called T5PC fraud, one of the biggest economic frauds in Norwegian history, in which some 80,000 people lost about 1 billion NOK (160 million US dollar)[1]. He served as chairman of the T5PC, a controversial multi-level marketing company that went bankrupt in 2004.

In 2007, he was convicted on charges of fraud relating to his role in the T5PC system, and sentenced to 2 years in prison. He was also fined 770,000 NOK, and he also was barred from engaging in any form of trade for 5 years.

As a teenager Tagge jumped 4.40 metres in the pole vault, representing the sports club Kolbotn IL.[2]
