The information provided in this report below is based on comments made by Chris Atteo during an onsite inspection held by a third-party verification company with no biases towards Christopher Atteo

Chris Atteo has worked for Wall Street since 1995. During his time he has held several different prominent positions, "I was a retail broker handling high profile accounts, I have traded on the stock floor at the New York Stock Exchange handling some of the largest institutional order accounts in the world, and I have run an office I actually built up an office. Most of my time in the business has been high network individuals accounts." He further stated, "most of the clients that I have acquired have either been through referrals from existing clients or through seeking out high network individuals and higher-ups in major organizations. My average clients net worth was probably around $10 million. I think it is probably higher than that but to be on the safe side I will say it is about $10 million. Most of them I call them up with an idea or tell them what I was doing and the direction I was looking to take and present that idea and more importantly sell to them and start off small. Most I have and have had for many years. As for where to invest their funds it is determined on many different factors which most importantly is their goals. Most of the guys and women I work with the money they sent to me wasn’t a necessity for them to live...a majority I would say 99%. That was their investable assets. Of course, finding investable things for them is dependent on their risk/rewards ratio meaning what they are willing to risk and what they a willing to reward."

Mr. Atteo explained his services and how that relates to his customers, "It is pretty much a service industry. So I have been on and worked around Wall Street for over 20 years and follow up markets for probably a little bit longer than that. The way I look at it is what I do anyone can do it is not impossible. But I have read hundreds of books and I have traded billions of shares in my lifetime. I spent a lot of time on the floor of the New York Stock Exchange working for the floor operations of Jeffreys...at this time in the late 90s and early 2000’s executed 9 or 10% of all the shares at the New York Stock Exchange. So I have a lot of experience. A service industry in the facet of one most of the people I have worked with are high network individuals and they don’t have the time to sit in front of a monitor. My experience with that...I could build a house but not as good or not as fast as someone who does it every day. On a day to day basis if something changes in the market or the market move it is my job to get them on the phone and let them know. One of the things I have always done is propose to them. Let's say a stock went either up or down I would give my opinion on it."



CUSTOMER CARE & COMPLAINT RESOLUTION – CHRIS ATTEO

When asked to comment on complaints posted on Ripoff Report's website Mr. Atteo stated the following, "In my entire career since 1995 I have had 4 customer complaints. Two of them you won’t even see on my record. Three of them were when a firm went out of business. One was a customer that I was an account holder on. I basically opened an account as part of the requirement to a senior broker. It was a minute amount of money the firm settled for. One of them one of the first ones I got I think it was 96 or 97 when a firm went out of business that I can’t tell you about. I got the records I needed to defend myself from the firm and I drove to Arizona where the arbitration was and I sat before a panel of arbitrators and I showed them the documents and I explained what happened. The individual that had the complaint was also there and explained his situation. The last 2 that I got were in 2013 I believe it was in September and October. I drafted up a document that explains it. So the last two that I had came out of a firm I was with from 2009 to 2013. I worked inside this firm and I managed one of the biggest books in retail trading assets. I brought in a couple of groups before I left the firm in 2013. I was supposed to get a finders fee of 5% for bringing them on." Mr. Atteo further stated, "once I was settled at a new firm and I called up some of my clients to let them know what had occurred and they advised me that the firm told them I was fired for doing drugs in the bathroom that I have a drinking problem and a cocaine problem and that they shouldn’t do business with me. Those arbitrations didn’t come until September and October and I had left the firm in February. Now let's go to the Ripoff Report and I will fill in the middle for you. About 2 weeks prior to the Ripoff Report going up and the statement that is on the Ripoff Report is very similar to what the old CEO’s brother said to a Jr Broker who ended up leaving the firm and coming to the firm I was at and after I left about 25 other brokers left as well so you could say he had it out for me. From there, your revenue is going to diminish. I did not solicit them I did not tell them to come. A lot of the companies I worked with stated they did not believe the claims they were being told and were not going to do business with them but decided to bring their money home and said once I was settled they would look to move forward again. I get that people don't want to be in the middle especially between two wealthy individuals. So about 2 weeks before the Ripoff Report claim went up the FCC basically indicted him and they released me on the record interview to the attorneys. So now thing goes up and maybe a month or two later someone calls me up and starts talking about doing reputation protection for you and I asked him what this was about and he said to look on the internet. I asked him how do I know this isn't you put this on there? So I let it go and let it sit now looking back on it I shouldn't have done that. Time goes on and I am having trouble establishing new relationships with clients when they google you before they send you a couple million dollars and they see what is posted they stopped answering calls. When I got back from a trip to Peru where I went on sort of a soul quest to figure out what I was going to do I looked into how to fix this. I paid a few people to do a reputation protection. I think most of them are just scammers. They would put things up but the Ripoff Report still stayed there on the top. At least I am now able to tell my story that I believe that someone put up there to damage my good name.

In order to ensure that clients are receiving the best experience possible Mr. Atteo is dedicated to providing clear expectations and communication with their clients. Mr. Atteo stated the following, "since that time I have spent a lot of time trying to establish my own financial institution that I think will change the way things are done. I realized the institutions are flawed. The first one is being a retail broker who charges commission per transaction sometimes in sometimes out and the guidelines are 5%. I think the industry overall has a bad name because of bad actors who don't know how to trade or know the market and just look to line their own pockets with commissions. On the other side, you have the asset managers who charge a maintenance fee of 1 to 2%. I am in the process of developing a multi-level company to launch into the industry where basically my slogan is if you don't make money I don't make money it is like a hedge fund."

Mr. Atteo is proud to be a part of Ripoff Reports Corporate Advocacy Business Remediation and Customer Satisfaction Program, "It is a breath of fresh air it is the best way to describe it. To actually have the ability to interact with customers who are not happy directly and be able to address it."
