From the Desk of Jim Eccleston at Eccleston Law LLC:
Former investment adviser, Richard G. Cody, of Jacksonville, Florida has been indicted for allegedly defrauding Massachusetts retirees, as well as for lying to the SEC under oath. More specifically, Mr. Cody orchestrated the fraud through his company, Boston Investment Partners, LLC. The indictment charges Mr. Cody with violating the Investment Advisers Act of 1940 and for making a false declaration to the SEC during a March 2017 sworn deposition where he was the subject of an investigation by the Commission.
Mr. Cody also was previously the subject of an SEC lawsuit filed in 2016. The SEC obtained a preliminary injunction to freeze Mr. Cody’s assets from further violating certain antifraud provisions of federal securities laws.
