Haussmann forensic financial research is primarily engaged with operational research regarding financial calamities for which the main task is researching international investment fraud. As an increasing number of people choose alternative and unregulated investments this has led to a significant rise in finance related crimes, examples of which are: boiler room fraud; forex fraud pyramided structures; securities fraud; binary options and recovery rooms.
Securities fraud, also known as stock fraud and investment fraud, is a deceptive practice in the stock or commodities markets that induces investors to make purchase or sale decisions on the basis of false information, frequently resulting in losses, in violation of securities laws.
Offers of risky investment opportunities to unsophisticated investors who are unable to evaluate risk adequately and cannot afford loss of capital is a central problem.
Securities fraud can also include outright theft from investors (embezzlement by stockbrokers), stock manipulation, misstatements on a public company’s financial reports, and lying to corporate auditors. The term encompasses a wide range of other actions, including insider trading, front running and other illegal acts on the trading floor of a stock or commodity exchange.
The U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC), which loosely regulates the foreign exchange market in the United States, has noted an increase in the amount of unscrupulous activity in the non-bank foreign exchange industry.
Between 2001 and 2006 the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission has prosecuted more than 80 cases involving the defrauding of more than 23,000 customers who lost $350 million. From 2001 to 2007, about 26,000 people lost $460 million in forex frauds.
The term boiler room, from a financial fraud perspective, refers to an outbound call center selling questionable investments by telephone. It typically refers to a room where criminals employ high pressure and dishonest sales tactics, sometimes selling penny stocks, private placements or committing outright stock fraud…
The classic image of a boiler room is that it has an undisclosed relationship with the companies it promotes, or an undisclosed profit motive for promoting those companies.
Once the insider investors are in place, a boiler room promotes (via telephone calls to brokerage clients or spam email) these thinly traded stocks where there is no actual market. The brokers of the boiler room actually « create » a market by attracting buyers, whose demand for the stock drives up the price; this gives the owners of the company enough volume to sell their shares at a profit, a form of ‘pump and dump’ operation where the original investors profit at the expense of the investors taken in by the boiler room operation.
