ETF Investment Fraud

An exchange-traded fund (ETF) is an investment fund traded on stock exchanges, much like stocks. An ETF holds assets such as stocks, commodities, or bonds, and trades close to its net asset value over the course of the trading day. Most ETFs track an index, such as a stock index or bond index.  Because ETFs are based on other investments and can sometimes be leveraged on a particular stock, industry, bond, or commodity, a small decline in the underlying investment can cause a very large loss in the ETF.  For this reason, it is important for the investor to be able to trust their registered financial advisor, broker, fund manager, or investment company.  When fraud is committed by a registered financial advisor, broker, fund manager, or investment company, it is extremely important to expose the fraud through a bounty action or direct lawsuit against a registered financial advisor, broker, fund manager, or investment company.  For more information on ETF investments, please go to the following web page:

Dark Pool Investments

 Dark pool investments are transacted in trading venues that differ from public exchanges because orders are not visible to other traders until they are executed.  The lack of pre-trade price information is designed to help institutional investors trade large blocks of shares without the market moving against them.  These dark pool investments are still susceptible to several types of securities fraud and can often be harder to detect because the orders are less visible.  For more information on dark pool investment and a recent SEC action, please go to the following web page:

Pharmaceutical World Sales Increase to Over $880 Billion Per Year Including Large Sales Increases in the "Pharmering Countries"

Every year over $4.1 trillion (US dollars) is spent worldwide on health services including approximately $850 billion (US dollars) that is spent in the pharmaceutical market on drugs and medications.  In 2011, it is estimated that global pharmaceutical sales are expected to grow by 5% to 7% to around $880 billion.  This growth in sales is led by the 17 so-called "pharmerging countries," which include China, Brazil, Russia, India, Venezuela, Poland and the Ukraine.  These "pharmerging countries", are forecast to see their pharmaceutical spending grow at a 15% to 17% rate in 2011, to between $170 billion and $180 billion overall.

Eight pharmerging countries are amongst the top 20 world pharmaceutical markets, and China is one of the “top three” or will be in the near future.  A few high-profile pharmaceutical companies have been successful in gaining a foothold in these pharmering countries.  These footholds include Abbott’s acquisition of Piramal Healthcare in India — a deal that could potentially make the US giant the top player in this country.  Bayer's and Novartis' investments in China including Novartis'  commitment to invest $1 billion USD in R&D in China and its $125 million USD investment to buy 85 percent stake in a privately held vaccine company.  Pfizer has made inroads into the Russian health care system with a discount-card system in Russia  Sanofi Aventis has purchased Medley, Brazil’s third-largest pharmaceutical company.  GSK and Lilly have also announced anticipated doubling their revenue in emerging markets by 2015.

It is estimated that approximately 10 to 25% of public health care procurement spending including drug contracts, medicines, pharmaceuticals, medical equipment, and medical devices is lost to corrupt and fraudulent acts including adulterated drugs.  As such, there is an international movement to reward pharmaceutical professionals and health care professionals that expose fraudulent and corrupt practices that cost hundreds of billions of dollars and cost lives.  This international movement includes SEC Foreign Corrupt Practices Act Whistleblower Reward Lawsuits and traditional Qui Tam False Claims Act Whistleblower Reward Lawsuits. 

As such, raw material supplies for pharmaceuticals, medical supplies, and medical equipment that have traditionally come from the United States and Europe are now coming from China and India.  This manufacturing shift has created an environment where adulterated ingredients to pharmaceuticals, medical supplies, and medical devices may be used in the manufacturing of these important products and can create dangerous and defective drugs, medical supplies, and medical devices.  International Whistleblowers along the pharmaceutical supply chain are needed to blow the whistle on adulterated pharmaceutical ingredients that are being put into medicine, drugs, medical supplies, and medical devices.

Although the GMO corn allegedly accounted for a small percent of the US corn crop in 2013 and 2014, there was no way to keep it segregated from the corn produced across the United States.  Thus, China refused to accept millions of bushels of US corn.  This US corn ban caused a dramatic drop in the price of corn that affected hundreds of thousands of businesses.





A growing number of US corn farmers, grain operators, corn exporters, commodity brokers, and other businesses are filing suit against Syngenta for GMO Seed Corn that resulted in China's rejection and refusal to purchase US corn in 2013 and 2014.  This GMO seed corn was not cleared for use in foreign markets and resulted in the contamination of the United States corn supply.  As a result of the GMO contamination, businesses including US farmers, grain operators, and corn exporters that suffered significant damages including loss of income from the price drop of corn in 2013 and 2014 are seeking representation to join these lawsuits.
