Ä¢¹½´«Ã½bull Faces Scrutiny After Alleged Account Breach and Penny Stock Manipulation

Ä¢¹½´«Ã½bull Faces Scrutiny After Alleged Account Breach and Penny Stock Manipulation

From the desk of Jim Eccleston at Ä¢¹½´«Ã½

An emerging investigation into Ä¢¹½´«Ã½bull Financial centers on allegations that an unauthorized third party infiltrated the firm’s security systems, accessed customer brokerage accounts, liquidated existing holdings, and used the proceeds to purchase shares of Ten-League International Holdings Ltd. (TLIH). According to reporting, this trading activity inflated the price of the thinly traded penny stock before the unknown party allegedly exited their positions at a profit. Afterward, the stock price collapsed, leaving affected Ä¢¹½´«Ã½bull customers with substantial losses. TLIH now trades at roughly forty-two cents per share.

The fallout for these investors may extend beyond market losses. Because their accounts were used to sell securities without authorization, they could also face significant tax liabilities tied to short-term and long-term capital gains.

According to news sources, Ä¢¹½´«Ã½bull operates as a registered broker-dealer offering a digital platform that allows self-directed investors to trade at low cost and without commissions. The brokerage firm uses Apex Clearing Corp. for its trading activities. Following reports of the breach, Ä¢¹½´«Ã½bull sent customers a form letter attributing the incident to a phishing scam. The firm has not acknowledged any negligence. Broker-dealers, however, have a duty to maintain systems that safeguard customer assets. When inadequate supervision or deficient security controls enable bad actors to enter investor accounts and misuse their funds, the firm may face liability for resulting losses.

 

Ä¢¹½´«Ã½ LLC represents investors and financial advisors nationwide in securities, employment, transition, regulatory, and disciplinary matters.

Jim, Stephany and the whole team were a God send.  Ä¢¹½´«Ã½ felt like we were put into a situation where we had no advocate. Jim’s team came in with a strong, well laid out strategy on how to get our story heard. Where our outside compliance company had no ability to help, our Broker Dealer was impenitent, and the regulators were aggressive pursuing vague rules, Jim came like a barricade against an assault we did not understand. Though you pay member dues to be affiliated with FINRA and a B/D, you have no voice. The only thing that is truly heard in this un-level playing field is a bulldog’s bark like Jim’s. I would encourage anyone to call Jim and his team to find a real ally in the tough and complicated world of securities regulation. They are truly the best.
