He often bragged of his wealth and his powerful status in the community.<br /><br />The only victims here are those who trusted in this man to protect their money. He instead chose to spend freely on things that he believed would elevate his image.<br /><br />Some people choose to work hard to make their way. Others choose to take short-cuts and screw others to get ahead. Mr. Vallett certainly is the latter. <br /><br />I also hope that the SEC and FINRA strongly consider pursuing criminal charges. I doubt his elevated sense of self-worth, his arrogant attitude, or his complete and utter lack of regard for others will serve him well in prison.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
