Richard Gomez Allegedly Involved With Fraudulent Company
Alleged damages are estimated to be at least $499,000
According to FINRA, in April 2015, Richard Gomez, currently registered with Avenir Financial Group, was named as a respondent to a complaint regarding a fraudulent foreign company called Praetorian whose shares he sold to investors, allegedly causing nearly $500,000 in financial losses.
The complaint alleges that he did not disclose the adverse information available about the company, resulting in his earning at least $14,950 in commissions. Gomez maintains that even though the company was fraudulent does not mean his business activities relating to the company were problematic.
