James F. Liebes, a securities dealer from Paradise Valley, Arizona, was ordered to pay more than more than $759,000 for selling fake stock shares to investors. Not only was Liebes selling stock in publicly traded companies that he didn't own, he wasn't registered to sell securities in the State of Arizona.

James F. Liebes and his Lanesborough Financial Group was ordered by the Arizona Corporation Commission to repay investors nearly $685,000 and pay a $75,000 administrative penalty. Lanesborough Group and Liebes were also sanctioned by the Commission for not disclosing to clients that he was facing an enforcement action that had been filed by the Commission's securities division.
