The SEC recently charged a New York-based brokeage firm Windham Securities, Inc., its owner and principal Joshua Constantin, and former Windham managing director Brian Solomon with fraudulently inducing investors to provide more than $1.25 million for investments and fees by making false claims concerning the investors use of funds, Windham's investment expertise and historical returns.
Accordint to the SEC's complaint, Windham, Solomon and Constantin misappropriated ivnestor funds from an investment opportunity in Leeward Group, Inc. Leeward was a private company Windham told investors that it was helping take public Constantin and Solomon raised more than $1.1 million for Leeward and an additional $135, 000 in fees for access to Windham investment opportunities.
Unfortunately for investors, Constantin transferred approximately $668,000 of the funds to his persnoal bank account and the account of an entity he controlled, Constantin Resource Group, Inc. Constantin also transferred $450,000 to Domestic Applications Corp., an entity that he controlled. Constantin and solomon attempted to conceal theri fraud and falsely reassure invstors by fabricating fake promissory notes and Windham account statements showing that investors had purchased Leeward securities.
