Case charging ten brokers in the New York and Chicago branch offices of W.J. Nolan with targeting retired customers in a classic boiler-room sales practice fraud, involving churning and unsuitable recommendations for microcap securities. At least 77 customers lost over $800,000 while the brokers collected over $250,000 in commissions. Typical of the defrauded customers was an 81-year old retiree whose wife was suffering from Alzheimer’s disease. The SEC obtained judgments of injunction and monetary sanctions against nearly all defendants, and also brought administrative proceedings against most of them.
