Investor Complaint Details Against Javier Martin-Riva

Allegations of Misrepresentation and Misappropriation

The complaint against Bulltick Wealth Management broker Javier Martin centers on allegations of misrepresentation and misappropriation of funds. According to Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) records, an investor filed a complaint in January 2024, alleging that Martin-Riva misrepresented investments in convertible notes issued by a technology company, Theia International Group. The investor claims that funds were misappropriated, seeking damages of $20 million.

Understanding Misrepresentation and Misappropriation

• Misrepresentation: Providing false or misleading information about an investment, leading investors to make decisions based on incorrect facts, such as overstating potential returns.

• Misappropriation: Improperly taking client funds for unauthorized use, such as diverting investment money for personal expenses or other undisclosed purposes.

If you believe you have been misled or have suffered financial losses due to advisor misconduct, seeking legal guidance may help you understand your options.

Convertible Note Investments: A Complex Financial Instrument

At the center of this case is convertible note investing, a form of short-term debt that converts into equity during a future financing round. Investors lend money to a company with the expectation that the loan will later convert into shares at a discounted rate. While this investment structure allows participation in a company’s growth, it carries risks, especially if the company underperforms or if the investment terms are misrepresented.

In Martin-Riva’s case, the alleged misrepresentation of convertible note investments highlights the potential for financial advisors to mislead investors regarding the risks associated with such products.
