New York Broker Charged in Investment Fraud

From the Desk of Jim Eccleston at Eccleston Law LLC:

William Quigley, former Chief Compliance Officer of Trident Partners Ltd, has been charged with conspiracy to commit wire fraud and money laundering conspiracy in connection with an investment scheme. He could face up to 20 years in prison.

According to the SEC, from 2003 to 2012, Quigley allegedly managed to convince foreign investors to purchase securities for various “blue chip” companies such as Dell Inc, Berkshire Hathaway INC, and BlackRock INC., as well as “start up” companies that were considered on the verge of going public.

Foreign investors sent their funds to various U.S bank and brokerage accounts set up by Quigley and his two brothers, Michael and Brian Quigley. Those funds then were diverted for personal use.

Furthermore, Quigley used his position at Chief Compliance Officer to steal additional money from his own firm. The SEC states that Quigley stole commission checks from Trident Partners Ltd. Trident Partners was not aware of his fraudulent activity.

If the regulators are after you, and are trying to make a case against you, and you are going to contest their allegations against you, make sure you have the best securities industry defense lawyers, Eccleston Law Firm. My case was spun into a combination of penalties including fines, cash settlements, CE courses and suspension. They were the best I have seen in action. When all was said and done, they had done their magic, my situation was negotiated and settled with a simple "letter of caution" and a case closed without action. It is the most important legal business decision you will ever make, make it Eccleston Law.
