The United States SEC (Securities & Exchange Commission) has charged investment firm JAG Capital Advisors & founder Joshua Goltry in $3 million fraud raised (at least $3 million) from 9 investors over 3 years, using $1.1 million (36% of funds) for personal expenses including for travel & jewellry, and lost $1.7 million (56% of funds) in high-risk trading & speculative investments. The $2.8 million expenses & losses represents 93% losses of the $3 million funds raised. United States SEC (12/6/24): “The Securities and Exchange Commission today charged Joshua Goltry and his investment management firm, JAG Capital Advisors LLC (JAG Advisors), in connection with a three-year scheme to defraud investors of at least $3 million. According to the SEC’s complaint, from 2020 to 2023, Goltry, the founder and Chief Investment Officer of a purported equity fund called JAG Cap, LLC, and JAG Advisors, the purported equity fund’s investment manager, raised at least $3 million from approximately nine investors by lying about nearly every aspect of the fund, including its performance, investment activity, and investment risks. Goltry is the principal of JAG Advisors. As alleged, of the funds raised, Goltry and JAG Advisors used at least $1.1 million on personal expenses, including travel and jewelry, and lost more than $1.7 million through high-risk trading and speculative investments. The complaint further alleges that Goltry and JAG Advisors falsified documents, including expense invoices, to conceal the trading losses from investors. The SEC’s complaint charges Goltry and JAG Advisors with violating antifraud provisions of the federal securities laws. Goltry and JAG Advisors agreed to settle the charges against them. The settlement, which is subject to court approval, would permanently enjoin Goltry and JAG Advisors from violating the charged provisions of the federal securities laws and allows the court to decide the amounts of disgorgement, prejudgment interest, and civil penalties at a later date. In a parallel action, the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the District of New Jersey announced criminal charges against Goltry. The SEC’s investigation was conducted by Suzanne C. Abt and Michael Cuff and supervised by Julia C. Green, Scott A. Thompson, and Mr. Grippo, all of the Philadelphia Regional Office. The litigation will be led by Judson T. Mihok and supervised by Gregory R. Bockin.”

Nicholas P. Grippo, Regional Director of the SEC’s Philadelphia Regional Office: “As alleged in the complaint, Goltry and JAG Advisors repeatedly lied to investors to lure them into investing in the JAG Fund and then lost their money or stole it to pay for lavish personal expenses. We will continue to diligently hold accountable those who exploit investors’ trust for personal gain.”
