NASAA’s Real Life Regulators podcast spotlights investment fraud cases from the files of state and provincial securities regulators and features interviews with the investigators and attorneys who bring these fraudsters to justice. Taking listeners through the investigative process provides an insider’s view of how to identify an investment scam.
In today’s episode of The Nest Egg Nabber, we talk to the Washington State Securities Division about a financial adviser who drained an elderly widow’s nest egg. He established a professional and personal relationship, only to ultimately nab a million dollars for himself.
