Brokers and brokerage firms are supposed to act in the best interests of their investors. In reality, they may persuade people to purchase investments and securities with incomplete, deficient, or misleading information. Or they may push investments that are unsuitable for the investor. Whether by negligence or fraud, brokerage firms and financial advisors that do not follow industry standards and applicable rules and laws may be responsible for their customer’s losses.
Our firm handles a broad range of investment and securities fraud cases, including EB-5 Immigrant Investor Program fraud, hedge fund fraud, junk bond fraud, oil and energy investment fraud, ponzi schemes fraud, preferred shares of stock fraud, private placement fraud, and variable annuity investment fraud.
Many people don’t recognize the signs of securities fraud until it’s too late. Some signs of potential fraud include claims of low or no risk, guarantees for high returns, high-pressure sales tactics, lack of communication, reluctance to answer questions (or evasive answers), faulty record keeping, and being promised “insider” information.
Our firm has a strong record of investigating securities fraud cases involving breach of fiduciary duty, churning, overconcentration, unauthorized trading, failure to supervise, advance fee schemes, broker embezzlement, fund or bond switching, pump and dump schemes, and ponzi schemes.
Stockbrokers and brokerage firms can commit fraud at any stage of the investing process. Brokers may act negligently, failing to do their duties and betraying the trust of investors. Some brokers may intentionally participate in deceptive schemes to increase their commissions. Brokerage firms may pressure brokers to sell bad investments to clients.
Although not every major loss can be tied to fraud, investors have a right to demand answers. If misconduct did occur, victims may have legal options for recovering their lost investments or retirement funds.
