Ernesto Chavez (CRD: 4315877) faces a new pending claim on BrokerCheck over an investment made in 2018. The customer alleges $180,000 in damages, and no arbitrator has ruled on the claim.
Gary Lane, a Reno financial advisor, appeared in court recently due to investment fraud charges after being charged with 12 counts of mail fraud and five counts of attempt to evade or defeat taxes.
He's alleged to have defrauded six people of more than $2 million while working at Bank of America and allegedly filed false tax returns.
Lane faces up to 20 years in prison for each mail fraud count, five years for each tax count and over $250,000 in fines.
Soreide Law Group first brought attention to Gary Lane in the website blog entitled, “ATTENTION CLIENTS OF GARY LANE,” dated October 7, 2011.
Securities Attorney, Lars Soreide, of Soreide Law Group, was recently quoted in an article from the Reno Gazette-Journal, written by Jaclyn O’Malley regarding former broker Gary Harrison Lane. The quote reads as follows:
“Florida securities attorney Lars Soreide said Tuesday he has represented a few clients who have recently settled with broker firms connected to Lane, that he accused of negligently superivising Lane’s activities and “selling away” investments. He said he could not give specifics because the civil cases were resolved under confidential agreements. Soreide said had the brokers properly supervised Lane, they would have uncovered the fraud.”
Lars Soreide successfully settled the claims in favor of his clients though a FINRA arbitration.
