Jeffrey Rachlin (Principal)
AWC/2010021058403
AWC/2010021058403
Acting through
Rachlin and another
firm principal, Rachlin's firm negligently omitted material facts in connection
with its sales of promissory
notes to investors.
The notes were issued
by an entity which was
controlled by a real estate developer. The firm, acting through
Rachlin and another firm
principal, negligently failed to disclose:
- to investors that the entity had been experiencing cash flow problems and that the entity and other companies affiliated with the real estate developer had failed to make required interest payments to investors; and
- that it was unlikely that the entity’s affiliated company would be able to make its scheduled principal payments totaling $10 million that were due to its note holders.
Jeffrey Rachlin (Principal): Fined $10,000; Suspended 30 business days in all capacities; Suspended 1 months in Principal capacity only
