ross-barish-charged-with-fraudRoss Barish (CRD#: 3094364) is currently registered as a broker with Joseph Stone Capital LLC in Mineola, NY. Barish was charged by the SEC on August 13, 2020 for allegedly defrauding sixteen retail customers.

The SEC’s complaint alleges that Barish engaged in a high-cost, in-and-out trading strategy in customer accounts without conducting reasonable due diligence to determine whether the trading strategy could deliver even a minimal profit for his customers. According to the complaint, Barish also engaged in widespread unauthorized trading in customer accounts. As alleged in the complaint, Barish’s strategy resulted in over $800,000 in losses to customers, while netting Barish over $400,000 in commissions.

The complaint was filed  in federal court in Manhattan, and charges Barish with violations of the antifraud provisions of Section 17(a) of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 10(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Rule 10b-5 thereunder. The SEC’s complaint seeks permanent injunctive relief, disgorgement plus prejudgment interest, and civil penalties.

Barish has six other disclosures on his BrokerCheck report.
