Infinity Q Founder Charged by SEC For Overvaluing Assets

From the Desk of Jim Eccleston at Eccleston Law:

Infinity Q, a registered investment adviser with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), oversaw a now-shuttered mutual fund, the Infinity Q Diversified Alpha Fund, as well as a parallel hedge fund, the Infinity Q Volatility Alpha Fund. 

The SEC has charged the founder of Infinity Q, James Velissaris, with conducting a fraudulent scheme between February 2017 and February 2021. According to the SEC’s complaint, “Velissaris engaged in a fraudulent scheme to overvalue assets held by the Infinity Q Diversified Alpha mutual fund and the Infinity Q Volatility Alpha private fund.” 

Velissaris additionally touted the mutual fund as an opportunity for retail investors to utilize investment strategies often reserved for high-net-worth clients, according to the SEC. The SEC’s complaint seeks disgorgement of gains and other civil penalties.

I learned two important things working with Eccleston Law. First, I made a friend and ally with Jim and Steph for life. Secondly, and this is a crucial life lesson - if you need counsel, then seek out the very best. Jim was referred to me by a most trusted source. I've never had to hire an attorney for anything. Now, I know the value of hiring an important partner. Meticulous, thorough and detailed in preparation is the best way to describe Jim. Brilliant too, I might add. Bottom line, I would highly highly recommend Jim and Stephany for your legal needs. One of the best life decisions I've ever made.
