Corporate & Securities Law

The attorneys at Eccleston law have launched an investigation of Timothy J. Roth of Urbana, Illinois for allegedly stealing as much as $6 million from customer?s accounts.

The attorneys at Eccleston Law believe that from October 2010 through February 2011, Roth allegedly stole more than $6 million in mutual fund shares from customers, which he is believed to have redeemed and absconded with the proceeds. 

Roth is believed to have perpetuated this fraud by effecting the unauthorized the transfer of customer?s mutual fund shares to KeyOp Exercise, Inc., a company controlled by Roth.  KeyOp then redeemed the customer?s shares and funneled the proceeds to various companies and accounts under his control.  Roth is believed to have concealed the fraud by sending customers fraudulent statements that omitted the transfer of shares.
