10. On September 16, 2015, Defendants initiated the Arbitration with FINRA against Plaintiff. A true and correct copy of the Statement of Claim initiating the Arbitration is attached hereto as Exhibit A. A true and correct copy of the submission agreement submitted by Defendants in connection with the Arbitration is attached hereto as Exhibit B.1 COR Clearing was served with the Statement of Claim on September 21, 2015. COR Clearing’s answer is due on November 10, 2015.
11. The Arbitration was initiated at, and is being administrated through FINRA’s office in Los Angeles, California.
Holding himself under false pretenses of Ted Wise , Ceo of TW Ruban Inc, he opened at least 40 accounts at Respondents and claimed he was offering investment expertise to build wealth with hard working clients such as Claimant and others.
While Respondents Christopher Cervino and Santiago were very well aware that this stock Vgtel could not clear with Compliance watch of their employer Cor clearing in regards to third party stock purchases, they had insider trading knowledge of which stock of which client to push to other investors for convicted felon Ed Durante.
In a classic Ponzi Scheme fashion, stock promoter and felon Ed Durante would use new investors such as Claimant to “PAY PROFITS " to earlier investors and " Return of Principal" [sic] via a pump and dump scheme under the SEC radar and using compliant platforms such as Respondents to achieve his personal means of the kind of crook that he is and misappropriated another.
