Anthony Diaz (respondent) engaged in dishonest or unethical practices in the securities business and took unfair advantage of PA customers, and has in connection with the offer, sale or purchase of a security in PA, directly or indirectly employed a device, scheme or artifice to defraud, and made untrue statements of material fact or omitted to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements made, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. In doing so, Respondent has engaged in acts, practices or courses of business, which operated or would operate as a fraud or deceit upon PA residents, and induced or attempted to induce the purchase or sale of securities by means of a manipulative, deceptive, or fraudulent scheme.
