JJ2713 how did you read the tea leaves on this and know it wasn't legit and all the brokers who pitched it missed it? What makes you so special?
Basic professional knowledge about the investment industry, combined with logic, common sense, & rational thinking.
Also caring enough about the client to perform proper due diligence. In a bout 2 minutes I could tell this was a Security that was legally required to register with the State or SEC... but they were not.
Plenty of desperate agents out there who are willing to look the other way and not trust their best instincts. Plenty of unscrupulous agents out there. And plenty who are ignorant about the subject and just dont know any better.
