Goodman & Nekvasil P.A. May Recover Investor Losses – Eubiquity Capital LLC Involved in Ponzi Scheme
Stephen Eubanks, a licensed broker with Bright Trading, LLC from 2010 until Stephen Eubanks’ firing in 2016, pled guilty to one count of wire fraud for Stephen Eubanks’ involvement with Eubiquity Capital, LLC. The SEC reported to FINRA that the criminal information Stephen Eubanks pled guilty alleged, inter alia, that:
(a) Starting in or about 2010, as part of a scheme to defraud, Stephen Eubanks falsely presented himself to others as an experienced investment adviser who ran a hedge fund. Stephen Eubanks encouraged friends, family members, and neighbors to allow him to invest money on their behalf. Stephen Eubanks also entered into contracts with two individuals to invest in securities on their behalf, and they provided him with money to make such investments.
(b) Stephen Eubanks told potential investors that he was a registered financial advisor operating Eubiquity from his home office and that Eubiquity was affiliated with various major investment or brokerage firms. Stephen Eubanks falsely told these potential investors that he pooled investor assets in a “hedge fund partnership” and traded in stocks, index funds and options.
(c) Stephen Eubanks raised money from clients and investors but did not invest the funds on their behalf. Instead, Stephen Eubanks distributed the funds raised from clients and investors among accounts controlled by Stephen Eubanks and used the funds to pay personal expenses or returns owed to earlier investors.
(d) Stephen Eubanks sometimes gave his clients brokerage statements purporting to show positive balances in Eubiquity accounts, when in fact the statements were from Stephen Eubanks’ or other investors’ personal accounts, or were a digitally-created combination of account information that created the illusion that a single Eubiquity account had a particular balance.
(e) In the period from 2010 to 2016, Stephen Eubanks defrauded approximately 32 investors, causing losses of approximately $437,609.35.
