SEC Charges Allege Par Funding Fraud
In 2022, the Securities and Exchange Commission announced charges against Mr. Camarda and A.G. Morgan Financial Advisors, the investment adviser firm he owns. According to a litigation release by the agency, the charges allege that he unlawfully offered and sold securities in Complete Business Solutions Group, also known as Par Funding. The SEC notes that Par Funding was previously charged “with operating a fraudulent scheme that raised hundreds of millions of dollars from investors nationwide.”
Per the SEC’s allegations, Mr. Morgan and his co-defendants allegedly raised more than $75 million in funds from more than 200 investors in Par Funding. They allegedly offered and sold these unregistered securities without the approval of their broker-dealer firm. They also allegedly failed to inform clients that A.G. Morgan Financial Advisors “had borrowed, and had not fully repaid, approximately $750,000 from Par Funding.” In connection with their offerings and sales of investments in the company, the SEC alleged, they “received compensation of more than $7 million.” The SEC has charged Mr. Camarda with violations of the Securities Act of 1933 and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as well as the Investment Advisers Act of 1940.
