A former employee of Empire Financial Holding Company, (Jim Vowlers' latest brokerage agent of choice) has blown the whistle against his/her former co-workers and employer. Some accusations include "wrongful conduct that violated various securities laws. On numerous occasions, the Claimant reached out to the principals and compliance officer of Jesup and then Empire to seek the firms' help. In a retaliatory move, one of those employees physically assaulted the Claimant. Moreover, those employees took steps which hurt the Claimant's institutional business. The Claimant contends that Jesup and Empire ignored his pleas and allowed the conduct to escalate." It will be interesting to see what comes out of this debacle,and I hope JV has no ties to these securities-law infractions. (JLI,EFH: Financial News-Yahoo! Finance) Wood™
