SEC v. v. Regald B. Smith

  • 2006
  • $2.4 Million

Defendant, former head of the Kentucky office of registered broker-dealer Stifel, Nicolaus & Company, Inc., raised over $5 million from his customers by telling them that he was going to invest in tax-exempt, high yield bonds. However, instead of purchasing the bonds, Smith misappropriated investors’ funds for his personal use.
