Securities/Stock Fraud

Stock fraud occurs when the issuer of the security makes false statements about the company’s status or fails to disclose important facts that may affect stock value, causing investors to buy or sell stocks under false pretenses. Claims can be brought against the issuer of the security, i.e. the public company, the company’s officers, directors, or others involved in the violation, including stock brokers, underwriters, or auditors.

Stock Fraud: Has this Happened to You?
I lost almost all my savings and my husband\'s life insurance. Because I trusted a stock broker. I moved to the Tampa Bay area around Florida 10 years ago after my husband died at the age of 46 from colon cancer. With two young children to support, I needed to be close to my parents. And I also needed them for financial support.

I worked 13 years for Sallie Mae and have a 401K plan that has lost money due to their poor management.
Defendant: ~Sallie Mae (ERISA / stock fraud)
My 401K lost thousands of dollars. I have 4,200 shares of SLM stock that are now worthless as they are well under the grant price. Since I was laid off, I have no opportunity to hold onto them in hopes the stock rebounds.
