Robert Tweed, specifically, from November 2009 to March 2010, allegedly took in over $1.6 million from his retail clients via a false and misleading PPM, according to the aforementioned AWC.

Tweed allegedly worked to offer and sell interests in his Athenian Fund LP, a pooled investment fund that he both created and controlled, the AWC states.

Robert Tweed also allegedly made drafts and circulated the PPM, a memorandum which purportedly misrepresented and failed to make disclosures of material information to investors, the AWC states.

Robert Tweed has Allegedly Been Requested to Bear the Costs of Court Proceedings & Pay Monetary Sanctions by FINRA

Twenty three of Tweed’s customers allegedly invested in the Athenian Fund without the alleged benefit of complete and accurate information regarding the total potential fees and costs associated with the aforementioned fund and facts regarding Tweed himself, according to the aforementioned AWC currently under review by attorney Alan Rosca.

What is more, the aforementioned PPM allegedly made misrepresentations regarding the entities and individual who would ultimately have immediate control over the money that customers invested, the AWC notes.

As a result of the aforementioned and alleged material misrepresentations and omissions, Athenian Fund investors allegedly could not evaluate the true costs and risks associated with the Fund, the AWC reports.

Thus, FINRA has purportedly requested that Robert Tweed to be the subject of one or more of the following sanctions including monetary sanctions and bear the costs of proceedings in accordance with FINRA Rules, according to the aforementioned AWC.

One should also note that, according to the AWC, Robert Tweed neither admitted nor denied the FINRA findings.
