Eugene Algorithm Fraud Lawyer

SEC trading fraud costs innocent investors billions of dollars each year, and can have a disastrous effect on the market and businesses. While technology and computerized trading have made it easier than ever for people to profit from stock trading, they have also opened the door to manipulation and fraud. Algorithmic trading fraud involves manipulating automated trading performed by computers, altering their programming for financial gain. If you know of or suspect trading fraud, contact our Eugene, OR algorithm fraud lawyer. The legal team at Whistleblower Law Partners can advise you of your legal options and help you anonymously report the fraud.

Algorithm Fraud Lawyer Eugene, OR

Over the last 10-20 years, there have been tremendous technological advancements in computerized trading. These specific programs have significantly reduced brokerage costs and increased the speed and quality of trade execution. Used properly, these computer algorithms have opened up trading, arbitrage, and other investment options that would have been too costly otherwise. For many investors, this has been a boon. For more unscrupulous investors, computerized trading programs have also been a boon, but not in the same way.

Trading conducted by algorithms can be manipulated for the gain of a specific individual, manipulating the market and causing losses to innocent traders. When these advanced computer systems are hacked or otherwise manipulated, the resulting non-market-priced trades can cause instability in individual securities or, as in the case of “flash crashes,” the entire market. Investors may suffer losses that reach into the trillions. Who can be held responsible for these actions?

If you suspect fraudulent use of trading algorithms, you have the legal option to report it anonymously, under federal fraud reporting statutes. You may be eligible for a portion of any recovered funds.

We prepare the claim on your behalf, submit it and your evidence to the proper authorities, including the SEC. We also handle all legal matters related to the fraud claim, ensuring you receive an appropriate reward for reporting it. And we shielded your identity as long as possible, protecting you from potential retribution.
