Q: I am in a SEC civil lawsuit. One of the investors recorded my phone calls.
Because the phone calls were recorded without my consent the investor then gave the phone recordings to a third party (SEC) to black mail me. The investor does want their money they lost trading. This was not my business it was my father's business and he died. I spoke to a few investors to explain the service he offered. However, I did not lose their money. Now I am liable to pay a lot of money because the SEC is suing me because they feel I am liable because of the phone recordings. I like to see if I have a case here to sue the investor for recording in a state (CT) where they have to get permission to do so. If I have a case, then when do I sue the investor for the damages they have caused? Thanks!
