According to FINRA BrokerCheck, Hector Crespo Jr. is currently registered as a broker/investment advisor with Aegis Capital Corp. in Melville, NY and has eight customer complaints filed against him. Five complaints have been settled, one is pending, and two were closed/denied.
KlaymanToskes recently issued a notice to customers of Surage Kamal Roshan Perera (CRD# 4716321) and his firm, Janues Capital Inc. following the filing of SEC fraud charges for an alleged multi-million dollar ponzi-like scheme. Perera was registered as a broker with Aegis Capital Corp. in Melville, NY and was under the firm’s supervision.
The Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) filed fraud charges against the former Aegis Capital broker and his current firm due to findings that he solicited customers to invest using a trading strategy which he referred to as “Options Straddles,” that he claimed would provide guaranteed returns of up to 9 percent, with the potential for returns as high as 50 percent.
According to the SEC, Perera and his firm carried out a Ponzi-like scheme by making Ponzi-like payments to customers in an attempt to hide investment losses. Perera further concealed his misappropriation of funds by providing customers with fake trade confirmations and statements.
Perera is alleged to have misappropriated at least $3.5 million of a customer’s funds to engage in highly speculative and leveraged trading. The SEC’s filing alleges that Surage Perera engaged in a total of over $2.5 billion in securities transactions, with nearly $3 million in trading losses.
