The SEC says executives from Aequitas Capital Management told more than 1,500 clients they were using their money for investment purposes. The SEC alleges the executives instead used the money to fund their lucrative salaries, repay prior investors and pay expenses, including “a private jet and pilots, and dinners and golf outings for prospective investors.”
