JOSEPH R. GALLARDO (CRD# 4100045A), 48, formerly from Bartonsville, Pennsylvania, pled guilty in federal court to mail fraud, a charge stemming from an investment fraud which caused his clients a combined loss of $1.8 million.
According to court documents, allegedly Gallardo persuaded clients to invest in Blue Meadow Group LLL, which was his own personal real-estate venture. Victims were guaranteed high rates of return and were incorrectly advised that their money was invested in and protected by real estate. However, Blue Meadow Group was not a real-estate investment trust and it was not registered. Instead Gallardo used the money to buy a gas station and convenience store and to fund his own online trading account, which lost a considerable amount of money.
JOSEPH R. GALLARDO, according to FINRA's BrokerCheck, was previously registered with the following securities firm(s):
