The Florida Office of Financial Regulation (FL-OFR) filed a complaint on March 5, 2014 against Tri-Med Corporation; Tri-Med Associates, Inc., and Jeremy Anderson, Anthony N. Nicholas, III, Eric Ager, Irwin Ager, and Teresa Simmons Bordinat, a/k/a Teresa Simmons (collectively referred to as “Defendants”) alleging that Tri-Med and the Defendants fraudulently offered and sold more than $13 million in unregistered securities.
A permanent injunction has been granted by the Sixth Judicial Circuit Court in Pinellas County, Florida following allegations that Tri-Med and the Defendants defrauded over 200 investors by misrepresenting facts during the sale of its investments. According to the FL-OFR, Tri-Med’s agents were not licensed to sell securities in Florida and allegedly represented themselves as purchasing medical practice-related accounts receivable which were supposedly guaranteed by letters of protection. The FL-OFR investigation found that the investments were falsely represented as having above-market rates of return and investors were assured the investments were “safe” and “backed by major insurance companies.” Tri-Med and the Defendants are alleged to have defrauded over $13 million from Florida investors and allegedly misappropriated at least $6.2 million of these investors’ funds.
When your stockbroker or financial advisor recommends that you invest in a particular security, he or she has the responsibility to tell you the truth about your investment and fully disclose all of the risks associated with the investment along with the benefits. Furthermore, brokerage firms and their representatives have a fiduciary duty to do their own due-diligence with respect to the investments they recommend in order to protect investors. Should they fail to do so, they may be held liable for investors’ losses.
