Merrill Lynch Fined $750,000 For Activities of Massachusetts Broker Richard Greene
Merrill agreed to pay the fine for alleged customer abuses that triggered losses of $30 million from about 400 clients.
The losses are attributable to Mr. Greene’s putting investors in little known stocks that later plunged in value, such as Genesis Health Ventures, Inc., Eldertrust, Inc., Indymac Mortgage Holdings, Inc., and Orbital Sciences, Corp.
Importantly, investors suffering losses may be able to recover. Mediation (at Merrill’s cost) will be available for investors who have lost more than $25,000 and had more than 50% of their money in those four stocks. Otherwise, investors may pursue arbitration remedies.
