Unfortunately, investor fraud continues to be uncovered through financial crisis investigations. As part of that process, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has worked closely with other regulators in the U.S. and around the world to protect investors and the markets. One of those investment fraud investigations is centered around the Stanford Financial Group.
If you’ve been a customer of the Stanford Financial Group, the SEC advises those customers that they can immediately begin the process of obtaining control of their accounts by arranging to transfer their accounts to a new broker-dealer. To do so, the customer should make arrangements with the new broker-dealer to open a new account.
