On 11/05/2001 I placed my retirement money ($190,000.00) with Francis Gagnon, a stock trader in Montreal St. Bruno, Canada and later paid him a comission fee.
While I was in Chicage (April 2002) on business, I received a frantic phone call from an associate of Mr. Gagnon stating that Mr. Francis Gagnon had lost $107,000.00 in a quick series of losing trades over the prior 2-3 days stock trading my account.
From December 2002 until the present he has refused to make up for the loss or even to discuss the loss. He stated that there was nothing more he could do for me, that the loss was not his responsibility. He has admitted to losing my retirement money with his reckless investing.
Now, I cannot reach him by email or telephone. He has multiple email accounts that he seems to change back and forth to.
