Infinity Q Founder James Velissaris被指控超过$ 1B的估值欺诈

Brokerage Firms Sold Infinity Q Diversified Alpha Fund and Volatility Alpha Fund to Investors

美国证券交易委bob200体育员会（SEC）已针对Infinity Q Capital Management的创始人兼前司法投资官James Velissaris提起民事诉讼。根据监管机构的说法，Velissaris据称将资产价值超过1B，同时“赚钱”了数千万美元的费用。

对于被销售并出售的投资者来说，这是个坏消息无限q多样化的alpha经纪交易商及其财务顾问的共同基金和波动性阿尔法私人基金。据称，这两项资金的管理资产约为3B美元。

委员会认为，从至少2017年到2021年2月，詹姆斯·韦利萨里斯（James Velissaris）持有这两个基金持有的资产。根据SEC的投诉，Velissaris通过修改投入并操纵公司用来重视这些资产的第三方定价服务中的代码来执行其估值计划。

同时，据称他通过欺诈活动获得了超过2600万美元的利润分配，并且没有透露他对投资者的所作所为。

SEC指控Velissaris采取行动掩盖投资欺诈

Velissaris促进了无限Q多元化的alpha共同基金作为散户投资者参与投资策略的机会，通常只向高净值客户介绍。他故意采取行动掩盖投资者的欺诈行为。

Velissaris tried to “thwart redemption requests” by masking actual investment performance because if investors had known how the Fund was doing, they would likely have wanted their money back. During the pandemic, the funds’ actual values were purportedly half of what investors were told they were.

2021年2月，在SEC指控他修改了第三方定价模型之后，Velissaris被撤职。2021年2月22日，应无限Q的要求，监管机构暂停了多元化的阿尔法共同基金的赎回。该基金在政府调查后开始清算程序。

根据NBC新闻文章，，，，the difference between the valuation of the mutual fund’s holdings and what was obtained when they were sold was around $500M. $1.2B in cash was left.

一位接受采访的专家指出，鉴于“利率，商品，货币和公司违约的复杂赌注”是该公司的资产之一，因此共同基金失败并不奇怪。该委员会寻求永久性禁令救济，恢复所谓的不义之处，并处以民事处罚。

On February 17, 2022, the US Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of New York filed criminal charges against Velissaris over the alleged mismarking scheme. Prosecutors say that he sought to inflate the value of the investment funds to draw in and keep capital and increase his compensation.

CFTC还向Velissaris收取欺诈

同一天，商品期货贸易委员会（CFTC）提起了自己针对Velissaris的民事欺诈案。监管机构指责他使用无限Q进行欺诈性估值骗局。据称，他看上去好像在数百个互换涉及公司经营的两个商品池的互换上似乎有虚假的收益。
