Agency Brokerage Spark The demise of the brokerage boiler room has been greatly exaggerated. In broker-speak, a boiler room is a high pressure sales operation where salespersons aggressively hawk overvalued stock by providing misinformation and making empty promises. Boiler rooms thrived in the 1980s and 1990s but faded from prominence after regulators clamped down on penny stock firms, and forced the most notorious of those operations out of business.Those firms may be gone, but boiler rooms have survived. And why not? They work. Last week, the SEC filed an action accusing Discover Capital Holdings Corp., a Uniondale New York based financial services company, and its wholly owned subsidiary, Indianapolis Securities Inc. of Boca Raton, Florida, of cheating investors out of approximately $1.1 billion through a boiler room driven private placement scheme.

Prospective investors in the Discover private placement were not told of this disciplinary history.The SEC complaint charges that the defendants and their boiler room sales force provided false information to investors, including claims that Indianapolis Securities had applied to the NASD to act as an online broker; that the private placement provided a means by which individuals could obtain Discover Capital stock at a significant discount to its public market price; and that Discover Capital stock would be worth $8.00-$30.00 per share within months to a year.
