What is a Federal Securities Fraud Crime? 

Federal Securities Fraud is when someone manipulates or lies about financial information in order to make a profit from investors.

Some common types of Federal Securities Fraud include:

  • Misrepresentation: Misrepresentation is when someone relays information about the worth of a security in a false manner. Misrepresentation is done in order to make more profit by misinforming the person of the security value so that they pay more for the security.
  • Insider Trading: Insider Trading is when someone who has access to private financial information leaks the information to an outsider who is not authorized with access to this information. This is unlawful because not all investors have knowledge of this financial information and this information could influence whether or not someone chooses to invest in a security.
  • Outside Trading: Outsider Trading is when someone hacks into a financial system database with the purpose of discovering private information that is not released to the public.
  • Churning: Churning is when someone convinces a client to invest excessively so that the broker makes more commission from the client, even though it is not in the client’s best interests.
  • Accounting Fraud: Accounting Fraud is when someone releases false or manipulated information to the public in order to encourage them to invest in a security by making the financial records seem better than they actually are.

According to 18 U.S. Code § 1348:

Whoever knowingly executes, or attempts to execute, a scheme or artifice—

  • to defraud any person in connection with any commodity for future delivery, or any option on a commodity for future delivery, or any security of an issuer with a class of securities
  • to obtain, by means of false or fraudulent pretenses, representations, or promises, any money or property in connection with the purchase or sale of any commodity for future delivery, or any option on a commodity for future delivery, or any security of an issuer with a class of securities 

Is considered to have committed a federal securities fraud offense.

    I had an unfortunate situation with a family member that lead to my arrest and being charged with DV Battery. This was the first time I had ever been arrested so I was very nervous and afraid of what was going to happen to me. After talking with Adam I decided to retain him and let me tell you this was the BEST decision I could have ever made. Adam made me feel so comfortable and confident that everything will turn out the best in my favor. He is professional, ethical and supportive. He was always available too answer any questions or concerns.Not to mention, his team at the office is awesome they are so friendly and welcoming. Anytime I had a question when I called the office they were able to guide me in the rightdirection. They always were in contact with me with any information or updates regarding my case. Adams team is GREAT!Adam delivered, my case was DISMISSED. So if you want an attorney the is gonna fight for you and get the job done retain the BEST there is Adam Rossen!!!

    Adam Rossen and the team at Rossen Law took great care in handling my case. They are very professional, and get the job done. I was particular relieved to see just how much empathy they showed with me, and how effortless it was to be their client.I literally visited them twice. My initial consultation, and then to pickup the final docs. I have nothing but great things to say about these folks, and I would highly recommend them to anyone. Thanks Guys.

    I had an amazing experience with The Rossen Law Firm. The staff were very professional. Attorney Susan Lawson went above and beyond working on my case. We were thoroughly prepared for trial. Mrs. Lawson reviewed hours of body and dash camera footage multiple times and aggressively performed depositions on witnesses and law enforcement.The final outcome for me was the state dropped my case, due to the great work Susan and the Rossen team performed. I didn’t even need to go to trial.This law firm does not play around. They pay attention to detail and they FIGHT FOR YOU!Thank you Adam, team, and a special thank you to Susan for your amazing work! I really appreciate you.

    My experience with Rossen Law Firm was excellent. From the consultation to the end.. My attorney Susan Lawson gave my son's case all the time and attention that was needed to be successful in court. She was confident during all the court proceedings. My favorite part was when she said we are family, never once my son and I were treated other then that. I very much appreciate the knowledge and support I received through Rossen Law Firm.
