What is alleged to have happened

the regulator announced this matter on January 15, 2014. The respondents named are Graziana Casale and Sterling Grace & Co. Ltd (1 individual, 1 entity). The action was brought in the Capital Markets Tribunal (Ontario).

This library tags the matter as boiler rooms, based on the conduct the regulator describes. Each tag links to a page explaining how that technique works, what statute it engages, and what penalties comparable actions have attracted. The tagging is ours, not the regulator's: agencies charge statutory provisions, not technique names.

The conduct is recorded against equities.

For the regulator's own account of the facts, read the primary document linked above. This page deliberately summarises the structured record rather than reproducing the release.

What technique is this, and how does it work?
