FINRA why are they needed if they can’t regulate their own members? Seems these broker members are doing anything they want with or without FINRA’s ok…. SEFE INC - Stock symbol (SEFE) Riverbend, LLC (Exhibit 1) was formed just two weeks ago and the registered agent is Nascent Group Inc. former SEFE INC CFO Patrick Deparini and one time Director of Nascent Wine Company, Inc (Exhibit 2). And Nascent is one of the companies mentioned in the Stephan M Kerr & Michael Quiel indictment (Exhibit 3 on page 9) where they were secretly hiding blocks of stock then selling it (Exhibit 4 & 5). Also, the Officers/manager name and address of Riverbend LLC is that of CRAIG GOODMAN who is a registered investment advisor with World Equity Group Inc a FINRA member and SEC Registered Investment Advisor Firm (Exhibit 6). This is also the same address and company where recently indicted Mark Nevdahl (Exhibit 14) is registered except Nevdahl is the General Securities Principal (Exhibit 7). This could only mean that Craig Goodman is acting on his firm’s approval at World Equity Group Inc or acting on his own and Nevdahl is too. Also, Timothy Swanson (Exhibit 8) another Investment Advisor that works for World Equity Group Inc. shares the same office address as Harold W Sciotto (Exhibit 9, 10, 11, and 12) who is one of the directors of SEFE Inc. Sciotto, owns a PR company called Westpac communications Inc an one of Westpac’s affiliate companies is QualityStocks.net (Exhibit 13). How can a licensed FINRA member share an office space with a PR company? Is there any compliance at all within FINRA or their members? Apparently, rogue broker activity is condoned and customary business practice within the FINRA members and/or World Equity Group Inc…..!/?
