I'm a bit confused. The gentleman I spoke with at Fidelity said "I should be careful and fully analyze my investment mix" BUT... refused to call anything a fraud, etc. I am sure because why would a broker want to go on record saying "don't invest, it is a fraud".
If an Ameritrade broker TRULY knew this was a scam, they would not trade the security because they would be liable. That is if the KNEW it was a fraud. So if this guy truly is saying this is bogus, he better hope it is NOT cause Ameritrade could be in some big trouble I would suspect if it isn't.
