Anthony Ritossa is trying to make a comeback in the family office conference space, but who is he working with? Spoiler: It’s not a group you'd want to trust with your investments. 1. Norman Martin: The Convicted Felon 🦹‍♂️ Norman Martin, who has been working with Ritossa since at least 2017, is a convicted felon with a history of stock fraud and deceptive practices. When Martin was indicted in the 1990s for stock fraud, it was "the largest single set of arrests ever made in the securities industry" (WSJ, Oct. 11, 1996): https://lnkd.in/e95nfUuC https://lnkd.in/efssry4p https://lnkd.in/eSeMX8K8 and https://lnkd.in/eWrtjH5e Trusted sources report having recently received calls from Norman Martin "trying to pitch the Ritossa Miami conference". 2. Cal Evans, the "Master of Ceremonies": Cal Evans, who is set to be the Master of Ceremonies at Ritossa's upcoming Miami investor event, is is due to appear in court via Zoom in a defamation lawsuit against Jonathan Dunsmoor and his former firm in Wisconsin at the same time as the conference. (24-CV-1848). Why This Matters Ritossa's attempt to re-enter the family office and investor conference space is concerning, not only because his own (see the landmark investigation by Vanity Fair: "Inside Wealth-Conference Con Man Anthony Ritossa's Wild Web of Lies": https://lnkd.in/ePt-8ATn) but also the questionable backgrounds of the individuals he is working with. Investors and attendees should be wary of events organized by individuals with a history of deception, fraud, and legal troubles. #FamilyOffice #CryptoFraud #Ritossa #DueDiligence #reputationmanagement Illustration by Spear's Magazine | 64 comments on LinkedIn
