Man found dead at Belvedere worked at company that had SEC complaint

The company that employed Rey Rivera, whose body was found in an empty office at The Belvedere on May 24, sold investment advice that the Securities and Exchange Commission cited as “false” and that led to threats against the company?s owner before Rivera was hired.

A complaint filed by the SEC obtained by The Examiner charged that investment newsletters distributed by Mount Vernon-based Stansberry Associates “contain nothing more than baseless speculation and outright lies.”
