The SEC barred two brokers from now-defunct Connecticut brokerage Rochdale Securities. According to the SEC’s allegations, the two brokers defrauded customers by using their order information to advise two longtime customers to trade ahead of these orders. As a result, the favored customers profited from the trades, the defrauded customers generally received worse prices than if their orders had been routed directly to the market, and the brokers received double trading commissions.
