All this information that follows is public information which can be found on the wounderful world wide web. I feel sorry for all the victims of the Ottimo related entities and relationships. They have all in the past, and using historical track record of Louis Ottimo, and all related entities both past, present and future wil end in peril. Most likely personal relationships the same. The information that follows is a multi part PUBLIC RECORD DISCLOSURE of all the disaster and distruction that has unfortunately taken place by the judgement and decisions of Mr. Ottimo.
Chapter 1:
The firm EKN Financial. This firm was purchased by Anthony Ottimo Sr. and Thomas Giugliano in 2001 through their entity, Margate Capital.. See exhibit 1 below.
EKN FINANCIAL RECORD
ANTHONY OTTIMO SR. FINRA LICENSE
THOMAS GIUGLIANO FINRA LICENSE
This was the beginning of a long journey which is currently still in progress destroying the lives of anyone whom comes in contact. Countless tens of millions lost through the channels of limitless scams and schemes.
MR Louis Ottimo transitions from a broker to an integral part of EKN's management/ownership once the water starts to boul on his father Anthony Sr.
Louis Ottimo Finra Report
Here are some auxillary cases along with the countless Finra based investment related claims against the Ottimos, Giugliano, and EKN Financial.
THE OTTIMOS FORM A JET CHARTER COMPANY CALLED JET ONE JETS. THEN AROUND 2010 PROCEED TO DEFRAUD U.S. VETERANS AND THE U.S.O. Ottimo Sr. brazenly tells the U.S.O. after defrauding them of nearly $1 million, "you made your bed, now you must sleep in it".
USO Vs. JET ONE JETS INITIAL SUPREME COURT CHARGES
JET ONE JETS COURT DOCUMENT
JET ONE JET COURT SETTLEMENT PROPOSAL DOCUMENT. THIS WAS IN TURN, WELCHED BY THE OTTIMOS.
Chapter 2. This is the transition from "SIMPLE' churning and burning of EKN FINANCIAL brokerage firm clients, to other new horizons.
QUESTIONAL RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE OTTIMO'S, THEIR NEW RESTAURAUNT VENTURE, AND ONE OF THE MOST BRAZEN, AND LARGEST PONZI SCHEMES IN US HISTORY. THE PONZI SCHEME WAS A FRAUDULANT FUND AGAPE WORLD.
AGAPE WORLD CNBC AMERICAN GREED EPISODE FOUND HERE----> AGAPE WORLD
OTTIMOS TRY TO ESCAPE DEFRAUDING THE USO, TO NO AVAIL.
FINRA AND THE SEC DECIDE THAT ENOUGH IS ENOUGH WITH EKN FINANCIAL AND THE OTTIMOS. What is so ironic is that now the entity COLD SPRING ADVISORY advertises itself as the "investor's keeper". IT WILL BE VERY INTERESTING TO SEE HOW THIS VENTURE TRANSPIRES GOING FORWARD.
Now to the article that Cold Spring Advisory, and their lackey attorney Hilton Wiener quote and use as leverage to hard sell individuals into filing sometimes frivilous and also sometimes defamous arbitrations...**Note on Cold Spring Advisory's and Hilton Wiener's former website they had omitted the entire section referring to EKN and the Ottimos. LINK
So that leads us to Mr. Hilton Wiener. The prestigious, upstanding defense attorney looking to help individuals recover investment loses....Who had taken down his investment loss website recently. LINK FORMERLY HERE.
Hilton Wiener, Boca Raton, FL. I'm sure the city is proud.-->LINK
Lets face it, what investor wouldt want to pay out of pocket up front fees up to $25,000 and contingencies northwards of 35-50% to the attorney who is currently on trial for felony grand theft for taking escroe money from clients.

Baseless? I don't think so
#6General Comment
Sun, July 24, 2016
In reading the two posts with interest, I did some searching on my own and in fact Mr. Ottimo does have a criminal conviction; has been disbarred, has had decisions read by judges that state that he -- or his firm at the time -- completly disregarded the rules of the SEC. There are countless liens against him, firms he has closed or left, and pending litigations. That to me in not baseless, but fact based. Whether the poster is truly a client of Cold Spring is not material to me; knowing the background of the owners of Cold Spring Advisory before hiring them is. And it doesn't look good to me.

Report's Claims Are Baseless and Personally-Motivated
#6UPDATE Employee

The author of the post dated November 30, 2015 relating to Cold Spring Advisory Group. He is not a client of Cold Spring Advisory Group, and a police report has been filed against him related to the harassment of Mr. Ottimo and his family.
Cold Spring Advisory recently named him and his firm in a complaint on behalf of a client who lost over $43,000 and was charged in excess of $21,000 in commissions within an 8-month period, and it is believed this is the reason for the venomous posting of the “report” on this website and the harassment of Mr. Ottimo and his family.
This “report” is obviously void of specifics relating to any case, and is clearly an attempt to smear the reputation of Mr. Ottimo and his family, taking a “shotgun approach” with outrageous defamatory statements. Involving the spouse of Mr. Ottimo in any matter is childish and reflective of the mentality of the author, again believed to be him. Further, posting of a photo of Mrs. Ottimo, who by the authors own account, is an “unfortunate innocent spouse” is entirely inappropriate and demonstrates depraved behavior and the intentional infliction of emotional distress. Accordingly, a lawsuit will be filed against the author of the posting, which again is believed to be him.
That the author, again believed to be, would expend the time and energy to fabricate what is posted here is hardly surprising. He is intimately familiar with Ripoff Report, as his firm received a scathing review on this site in October, 2012. The author of the post called them a “scam boiler room operation” and warned investors to “avoid these guys at all costs” claiming that “these guys stole my money and they’ll do it to you as well.” He went to great lengths to bury the review by posting and re-posting glowing reviews of his own firm.
He has worked in the securities industry for 18 years and has been employed by 9 different firms, 2 of which have been expelled by FINRA (Harrison Securities, Inc. and Prestige Financial Center) and 3 others are no longer licensed and their registrations with FINRA have been terminated (First Asset Management, Inc., Ladenburg Capital Management, Inc. and S.W. Bach & Company).
See Here:
(((REDACTED)))
While most of the things the author wrote, again believed to be him, are simply too baseless to address, a few things should be put straight. These defamatory statements placed on the internet will be the basis for damages sought by Cold Spring Advisory against the author, who is believed to be him.
• Louis Ottimo does not own Cold Spring Advisory Group, has never declared bankruptcy and his house is not in any stage of foreclosure.
• Cold Spring Advisory Group does not have anyone’s Personal Confidential Information (PCI) such as social security numbers, bank account information, income information or dates of birth unless it has been provided by a client for the purposes of preparing their case for FINRA Arbitration.
• Cold Spring Advisory Group has no set fee relating to assisting its clients, and the allegation of a set $7,500 fee is defamatory and will be part of the lawsuit against the author. Cold Spring Advisory Group is pursuing all available avenues to identify and hold the author, who posted anonymously under the name “TruthBeTold – District of Columbia” and believed to be him, accountable for his defamatory statements and harassing actions.
The majority of Cold Spring Advisory Group clients describe the brokers who stole their money as loud-mouthed bullies who used high-pressure sales tactics to intimidate and coerce them into doing business with them and their firm. Cold Spring Advisory holds these bullies accountable to their former clients every single day.
To end this post, Cold Spring Advisory Group will continue to monitor the internet and this site for any and all attempts to defame, harass, threaten or otherwise intimidate our firm, our clients and our consultants. All individuals who engage in these kinds of behaviors will be met with equal force and will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.
