A Brooklyn lawyer has agreed to pay a $60,000 fine and accepted a permanent ban from selling securities to resolve allegations he submitted at least nine fraudulent filings to the attorney general’s real estate finance bureau.
Harold Gruber, a 60-year-old solo practitioner, is barred under an agreement with the state from any activity related to the sales of securities in or from New York, including transactions involving apartments and condominium units, according to a press release issued Wednesday by Attorney General Eric Schneiderman.
