Shareholder Fraud and Stock Fraud in Georgia

If a company's accountants or executives intentionally mask profits, losses, debts, acquisitions, mergers, or other financial transactions, shareholder fraud occurs. Because they know that shareholders rarely buy stock in companies rocked by excessive debt or suspicious activity, those executives may try to conceal that debt, inflate company profits, and cover up scandals in order to lure investors. They might offer too-good-to-be-true stock deals so that shareholders think they are getting a superb deal when in actuality, they are just being used to prolong the company's inevitable crash. One of the best examples of shareholder fraud is the recent collapse of the financial giant Enron, which defrauded investors by concealing billions of dollars in debts before the company finally went bankrupt. Such misrepresentation of a company's true financial status has cost consumers millions of dollars collectively-and many have lost everything, including their life savings or retirements. If you are a victim of shareholder fraud, you have a right to file suit against the company that deceived you.

Investment Fraud and Stockbroker Fraud in Georgia

Investment fraud refers to when a company or stockbroker intentionally misleads shareholders in order to generate business and clients. For example, a stockbroker may lure a shareholder with padded stock reports that make a company look much more sound and lucrative than it truly is. Sometimes, a stockbroker will give a company whose stock he's trying to sell a higher rating so that investment banking firms will be enticed. By intentionally manipulating investors, the stockbroker could cause them to lose some or all of their money on stock they thought was foolproof. Merrill Lynch, Morgan Stanley, Deutsche Bank, Bear Stearns, and JP Morgan are among a dozen firms that were suspected or convicted of investment fraud.
