Altamonte Springs Florida SEC Securities Defense Attorney

Roderic Boling and his now ex-wife Anna Boling, of Altamonte Springs Florida, have allegedly orchestrated a scheme that defrauded thousands of investors. As part of what is a commonly known as a “pump and dump” scheme, Mr. Roderic and his wife allegedly made phony telemarketing calls that gave people the impression that homeowners received confidential information on the stock market. The scheme entailed Mr. Roderic going to a telemarketer and requesting him to send out his pre-recorded message made by Mrs. Roderic that would be sent only once per household and the message would only play if the call reached voicemail. The message, made by Mrs. Roderic, would give the impression that she called a friend when in actuality it was a stranger which she disclosed important stock information, leading people to think they got the inside scoop. Within days the price of the stock would double and Mr. Roderic would sell his stock and move on to a different company that he would “advertise” for. Mr. Roderic allegedly perpetrated the scheme for several companies with the stock symbols MAUG, IVFH, FGWC, PWRM, DNNI, and AMUT using the same method and making hundreds of thousands of dollars. The United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) requested Mr. and Mrs. Roderic be permanently enjoined, pay full disgorgement of ill-gotten gains, as well as the maximum civil penalties. Mr. Boling was sentenced criminally for 25 years in prison with a fine of $5,000,000 and Anna Boling was sentenced to 3 years imprisonment with a $250,000 fine. Do You Need an SEC Defense Lawyer?
