CRD#5031281

Silver Law Group is investigating former New York, New York-based AEGIS Capital Corp broker Shadi T. Barakat after multiple clients filed FINRA complaints alleging excessive trading and churning. This complaint was settled in 2015 for $360,000.

A Reuters investigation team published a story earlier this year documenting high-risk brokers and brokerage firms using bulk data it compiled. Silver Law Group continues to investigate claims against these brokerage firms.

FINRA requires brokers to disclose 23 types of incidents that might give investors concern, such as regulatory sanctions, court and arbitration judgments and bankruptcies.  FINRA then publishes these disclosures on its BrokerCheck website.  Investors can then search the backgrounds of these brokers but cannot examine the data from a big-picture level.

According to the story, Reuters obtained bulk FINRA data from researchers at the Columbia University Law School Datalab and use the information to compile a list of 48 brokerage firms with the highest percentage of incidents.

CFTC’s RED List

Binary Options fraud is on the rise in recent years as regulators and government agencies continue to receive hundreds of complaints with damages totaling in the millions of dollars in the United States alone. The U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (“CFTC”) has issued a Fraud Advisory concerning Binary Options due to the increased number of victims of these schemes. The CFTC, as part of its efforts to reduce this fraudulent activity, maintains a list of foreign entities that illegally solicit U.S. residents to trade binary options and forex without being registered with the CFTC as required by securities laws. This allows investors to protect themselves against this type of illegal activity.
