Stock fraud, or securities fraud, is the illegal manipulation of a stock for personal or company profit. Stockbrokers are only permitted to handle stocks in the authorized manner explicitly administered by the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Stock fraud can be committed by lying to auditors, providing insider information, broker embezzlement, and much more. If you think you may have been a victim of stock fraud, attorneys help investors recover their losses when stockbrokers and investment advisors are to blame.
