UCB Financial Advisors Inc. Charged by SEC with Fraud | Goodman & Nekvasil P.A. May Recover Investor Losses

According to the SEC:  

The Securities and Exchange Commission has obtained an asset freeze and other emergency relief, and filed fraud charges, against a Miami, Florida investment professional and two investment firms for engaging in an alleged “cherry picking” scheme in which they channeled millions of dollars in trading profits to preferred accounts.

According to the SEC’s complaint, which was filed under seal in federal court in the Southern District of Florida on June 10, 2021 and unsealed on June 17, 2021, since at least September 2015, defendants Ramiro Jose Sugranes, UCB Financial Advisers, Inc., and UCB Financial Services, Limited engaged in a scheme to divert profitable trades to two accounts believed to be held by Sugranes’ relatives and to saddle other clients with losing trades. The defendants allegedly used a single account to place trades without specifying the intended recipients of the securities at the time they placed the trades. As alleged, after defendants established a position, if the price of the securities increased during the trading day, the defendants usually closed out the position and allocated those profitable trades to the two preferred accounts. Conversely, the complaint alleges that if the price of the securities decreased during the trading day, the defendants usually allocated the unprofitable trades to other client accounts. According to the complaint, the preferred clients, who are named as relief defendants, received approximately $4.6 million from profitable trades while other clients sustained more than $5 million in first day losses.
