There were lot’s of big financial and regulatory problems at the only three places where Brian Fox says that he worked in the investment and finance industry


On one of Brian Fox’s personally-edited business data bases, he listed three of his prior employers as having been in the investment and finance game  ---  and, Boy-O- Boy, did those particular guys ever play that game fast and loose

 
According to Brian Fox himself  ---  they were  “J.P. Turner…” ;  “Legend Securities…”; and “SAC Capital Advisors…”  ---  all three had serious regulatory problems, paid big fines and large damage awards for a variety of mis- and malfeasance  >>>   and some of it was even found to have been criminal


ALL THREE COMPANIES WERE EITHER TEMPORARILY OR PERMANENTLY BANNED FROM DOING MUCH OF WHAT BRIAN FOX SAID HE WAS DOING THERE FOR THEM


PS ---  BRIAN FOX DOESN'T DO ANY OF THAT KIND OF BUSINESS ANYMORE,  EITHER.....

 

Brian Fox says that he worked as an “Equity Trader” at SAC Capital Advisors in Stamford, Connecticut for over two and a half years from February 2008 until August 2010. 
It is very well documented that during the entire time that Brian Fox worked there, the FBI and the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of New York were investigating SAC Capital Advisors and related operations, putting together a comprehensive case against the complex hedge fund management enterprise for a variety of illegal activities going back many years and continuing through 2013, when a federal indictment against SAC Capital Advisors was finally obtained.
In November 2013, the U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York announced a “Guilty Plea Agreement” with the SAC Capital Management Companies, in which the SAC Management Companies agreed to plead guilty to  >>> all Counts <<< in the criminal indictment, pay $1.8 Billion in fines and restitution, and to terminate SAC Capital’s "Investment Advisory Business."
__________
Brian Fox says that he worked  as an “account executive” at Legend Securities Inx. In New York  City for over two and a half years from February 2008 until August 2010.
At Legend Securities…  it was the following:
Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) panel ordered Legend Securities, its CEO , and three of the firm’s former brokers to pay almost a million dollars in damages to a single investor. and Legend Securities was expelled by FINRA authority on 2011 and is no longer allowed to operate as an investment advisor.
Legend had been charged with churning, failure to supervise, fraud, various nondisclosures, various misrepresentations, negligence, and breach of fiduciary duty. The amount awarded by FINRA was 100% of what the Legend Securities’ client had asked for.
In another case that had happened around the time that Brian Fox says he had worked at Legend, a FINRA arbitration panel ordered the since-defunct brokerage firm to pay a different client an award of well over a million dollars over similar allegations related to churning by Legend’s investment managers.
Two of the Legend “account executives” who had been banned from the securities investment business were, just like Brian Fox also employed at J.P. Turner Associates. And there was also a third broker, who is no longer in the industry, who was hit with a “three-month personal suspension” by FINRA after he departed Legend Securities. Also like Fox, he worked with several other problem brokerage firms with serious regulatory problems and customer claims for damages and other disputes.
__________
Brian Fox says that he worked as an “account executive” at J.P. Turner & Company in Brooklyn, New York for well over four years from August 2012 until October 2016.
It has been reported that Fox said specifically that he had worked at J.P. Turner between August of 2012 and October of 2016. However, J.P. Turner & Company had been effectively closed by July of 2015 by it’s parent company, over a year before Brian Fox claimed that he had left the company.
The reason “J.T. Turmer…”  had been closed by its new parent was given as “rampant corruption.”  After “J.T. Turmer…” closed, investors had been were warned [by regulators and/or consulting advisors] to avoid bringing over former “J.T. Turmer…” employees, because. “J.T. Turmer…”  was so flagrant in it’s found violations. As a result, they had been  censured numerous times by the SEC, and its SEC license was permanently revoked after its closure,
 
Although there is no documentation implicating Brian Fox in any illegal activities or regulatory discipline at “J.T.Turner…” [or his other two financial/investment business employers, for that matter]   ---   it needs to be noted that Mr. Fox did not get hired by the new owners of that brokerage operation; and also that there were specific acts of wrongdoing that had been found at the “J.T. Turner…” Brooklyn office where Brian Fox says that he had worked  ---  right in Bay Ridge at  9017 5th Ave Brooklyn, New York

"... WHAT IS THIS ALL ABOUT ?" --- YOU ASK.....

"IF THERE IS NO EVIDENCE..." ! --- YOU SAY.....

"IF THERE IS NO EVIDENCE OF FOX WRONGDOING..." !!! --- YOU HOPE.....

"IF THERE IS NO EVIDENCE OF FOX WRONGDOING ACCORDING TO [US]..." !!!!! --- YOU TWIST AND TURN AND EVADE --- OH ! AND DID I MENTION >>> MISTATE.....


We never said there "... is no evidence of fox [sic] wrongdoing..." anywhere in our main post above. However, here is something that we did say: ".... Although there is no documentation implicating Brian Fox in any illegal activities or regulatory discipline at “J.T.Turner…” [or his other two financial/investment business employers, for that matter] --- it needs to be noted that Mr. Fox did not get hired by the new owners of that brokerage operation ["J.T. Turner..."]; and also that there were specific acts of wrongdoing that had been found at the “J.T. Turner…” Brooklyn office where Brian Fox says that he had worked --- right in Bay Ridge at 9017 5th Ave Brooklyn, New York."

"IF THERE IS NO EVIDENCE OF FOX WONGDOING..." YOU SAY..... THEN WE SAY --- THAT IS >>> CIRCUMSTANTIAL EVIDENCE <<< OF FOX'S WRONGDOING AT A PARTICULAR TIME AND PLACE, AND UNDER VERY PARTICULAR SUSPICIOUS CIRCUMSTANCES

BRIAN FOX CAN RUN, BUT HE CAN'T HIDE FOR VERY LONG.....

Justin had an impressive work history. He supervised an intern that answered the phones in Gentiles office and he made the coffee. But the donuts were plentiful.

247, you are typical of Brian Fox and his crack team of flacks and handlers, either you are intentionally lying about Justin Brannan's extensive and varied life and work experinces, or you are too lazy to have done any of the rather simple research to learn about Brannan's work history before taking over running Gentile's District Office, and then the whole operation as Chief of Staff.

A DITTY & A FEW QUERIES: THE "SOMETIMES THE BIRDIES GO 'TWEET, TWEET, TWEET...' --- AND OTHER TIMES THEY MAKE SQUAWKY NOISES THAT AIN'T SO SWEET" EDITION

SOMETIMES IT'S NECESSARY FOR US TO USE AESOPIAN LANGUAGE TO VEIL OUR MEANING >>> ESPECIALLY, WHEN WE FEAR THAT WE MIGHT BE LIBELING SOMEBODY --- OTHER TIMES AN ELLIPTICAL PHRASE OR QUESTION DOES THE TRICK

FIRST: LET'S PRETEND THAT WE'RE SAYING THIS STUFF THIS WAY >>> BECAUSE A SQUAWKY LITTLE BIRDIE TOLD US SOMETHING THAT MAKES US A LITTLE SQUEEMISH TO RETELL ON THIS BLOG, EVEN AS AN ANONYMOUS COMMENT

OKAY, LET'S BEGIN:

If we had gone into the Ho'Brah on Third Avenue and asked the bartender for a "snort" --- what kind of snort do you think we'd be trying to get ?

Why do you think that somebody thinks that we should ask the bartender at Ho'Brah about who might come into Ho'Brah for a "snort" --- instead of let's say some kind of Baha California style Mexican dishes ???

What do you think our chances are that a squawky bird might be able to sing to us sweetly >>> with verifiable details about bartenders, Ho'Brah on Third Avenue, and who might need to get their kicks from some snort of thing or another ?????

Is justin still running? Seems like he does a drive by at a few events a year.

Only somebody campaigning like it's the 1970s or '80s would thimk that Brian Fox is campaigning and Justin Brannan isn't. Also, if you aren't seeing Brannan at lots of events, then YOU aren't getting around all the places where YOU need to be.

BACKFILL: THE "SCOPE OF THE CORRUPTION AT 'SAC CAPITAL...' IS SHOWN BY 81 CONVICTIONS AND/ OR 'GUILTY' PLEAS BY SAC CAPITAL, ITS TRADERS AND OTHERS" EDITION

SAC Capital Advisors is where Brian Fox broke into the investing game. It was one of Steven A. Cohen's companies; and Brian Fox has admitted working there for over two and a half years during the time that the federal cases against SAC Capital, several of SAC Capital's traders, and other SAC Capital employess were being put together by federal prosecutors. Fox had been completely immersed in the ethos of SAC Capital for almost three years during the time of the wrongdoing that led to the federal investigations, and the prosecutions that followed.

Shortly after Brian Fox had departed SAC Capital to go to a smaller investor/ broker that later had its own legal problems resulting in its being put out of business, the hammer of federal prosecutions fell on SAC Capital and many of its employees. All told, there were 81 federal convictions and/or guilty pleas by SAC Capital and/or its employees coming out of the SAC Capital investigations by the FBI and the U.S. Attorney's Office.

Some of the feel of what went on at the very high end of it is shown in a very fictionalized and over-the-top way in the cable TV series "Billions" --- which many critics and observers believe is a very loose fictionalization based upon some parts of the Steven A. Cohen (SAC) story [and yes, he is the current owner of the New York Mets].
