Dear All:
I am currently investigating Stephanie Hillman (Bonino) in the Ottoman Group under the suspicion of investment fraud and in dialogue with National Futures Association, CFTC, United States Attorney’s Office New York.
It appears that Stephanie Hillman is fronting an investment fraud where investors internationally are being solicited with the aim of conducting wire fraud, attorney law fraud, federal securities fraud and violating regulation D. A series of lenders have also been contacted by the group for unsecured loans with no ability to repay these. The Ottoman Group is listed with large losses in previous yearly management reports.
Accomplices from the Ottoman Group (who is also registered as The Firm, OGI, SA, Lynx) are as follows: Dustin Collins, John Schneider, Robert Goodwin, Carter Hammer, Jacques Allouf, Sonny Lee, Bruno Homero Parra Bravo, Jeffrey Miller, Winston Wei,
Iain Horburgh, Peter Swartz, James Valentino, John Grounds, Noel Brown, Marcus Braga Magarian, George Medina, Stephen Freilich, Ephraim Wainaina, Bernard Oyama, Kristofer L. Harrison, Alexander Blum, Ann Thomas, Bradley Winter, Marjorie Riley St. John, Ray Commisso and Isaak Ofori.
If your name is listed above, please be informed that the syndicate has been known to use professionals’ names in campaigns when marketing and selling their scam.

The complaint has been investigated and resolved to the customer’s satisfaction.
Repeated phone calls after requesting several times that my number be removed from their list and their assuring me that it would.
I have the same exact complaint. They also will not tell me more about the company. They will not give me an exact company name or address. I have told them numerous times in addition to using thier outomated removal option. My number is on the DO NOT CALL list. Who do we call who follows up on this flagerent rude and illegal activity.?
Steven Barnes is the owner of this so called financial company. I found him to be rude, unethical, and a thief. Mr. Barnes cannot call himself a financial advisor; he is actually a financial thief. Please for your financial security and retirement DO NOT DO BUSINESS WITH THIS COMPANY!
I had an automatic draft that was more then I thought. I was twenty five dollars short and thehey chargee me six insufficient fund fees. Telling me they execute transactions from highest to low even though he higher transaction hadn't posted it.
Automatic drafts may be pending on accounts sooner. It is a difficult situation when it happens. When that automatic draft is pending, the money is on hold from the time the other business enters it into the system. So that money should be considered spent. If other charges come out during that time frame such as gas purchases, etc. Then it would OD the account when it posts. Once you spend the money, consider it "gone". Best thing to do is keep a check register and write everything down. Never fails, just requires basic math.
