Brokerage firm Aegis Capital’s track record has come under fire after SLCG Economic Consulting published a report on the firm’s offerings in the last few years. The report calls Aegis Capital a “farm-to-table securities fraud purveyor” after their underwriting and subsidizing of consistently failing small cap stock companies. Aegis' underwriting included propping up companies “constantly on the verge of delisting and bankruptcy.” These failing stocks were sold to Aegis' retail brokerage customers, then traded and re-traded “at significant markups and markdowns,” with considerable financial incentives for brokers who did. Trading in these worthless stocks led to Aegis’ investors losing at least $5 billion, according to the report.
