The SEC’s complaint alleges that between January 2019 and October 2021, Baris Cabalar advised eight retail clients of PHX to pursue this strategy, despite lacking a reasonable basis to believe it would be profitable given the associated costs. As a result, the clients incurred losses exceeding $1 million in total, while Cabalar and PHX collected over $400,000 in commissions and fees from the excessive trading he encouraged.
