Allegedly, Gefen was negligent, breached a fiduciary duty, acted unethically, and breached a contract. It appears that Gefen caused the client to sustain damages on stocks. Therefore, the client seeks compensatory relief from Newbridge Securities Corporation or Gefen in the amount of $1,200,000 in this ongoing matter.

Also, on February 14, 2008, a VFinance Investments Inc. client filed a complaint about Ivan Gefen. Namely, the client alleged that Gefen engaged in unauthorized trading and churned accounts.
