The Soreide Law Group, (888) 760-6552, has obtained the following summation of information from FINRA’s website under “Disciplinary and Other FINRA Actions, January, 2014.”
Lunick Jean Dorleus (CRD #5436401, Registered Representative, Greenacres, Florida)
was suspended from association with any FINRA member in any capacity for nine months. Dorleus and others formed an investment club where investors’ funds would be collected and used by an individual for unspecified securities investments.
FINRA's findings stated that Dorleus participated in private securities transactions. Investors heard about opportunities where their money would be doubled in a 90-day period. Also, Dorleus told investors about the investment opportunity with the individual. In all cases, Dorleus collected checks or money orders from the investors totaling $31,000 and forwarded from the investment club to entities that the individual controlled.
Dorleus did not notify his member firm of the transactions or his proposed role in the transactions. Also, the SEC obtained an emergency court order halting an alleged Ponzi scheme and fraud by the individual for more than $23 million from thousands of investors in the Haitian-American community nationwide through a network of investment clubs.
The suspension is in effect from December 2, 2013, through September 1, 2014. (FINRA Case #2011029760701)
