Statement on the Bloomberg Coverage
Bloomberg has covered the matter for a decade. Read every piece, in order, before drawing a conclusion from any one of them.
Updated June 17, 2026
Bloomberg's archive is accurate as of each publication date. What's missing from any single article is the rest of the archive.
I have no quarrel with Bloomberg's reporting. The single most important article in the public record about me — the 2017 dismissal piece — is theirs. The frustration is structural: Google's ranking tends to surface older, more-clicked indictment-era pieces above the later dismissal coverage. This statement points readers at the complete Bloomberg arc.

Five points to read alongside the headlines
- 01
Bloomberg reported the 2017 dismissal as news.
On January 31, 2017, Bloomberg published 'Brokerage Owner Wins Dismissal of $17 Million Fraud Indictment.' The piece is on the Bloomberg site to this day. It is the single most important article in the archive and the one Google's algorithm most often buries below older indictment-era pieces.
- 02
The 2016 indictment articles are accurate as of their publication date.
The original indictment coverage (2016) accurately reported what the U.S. Attorney's Office had charged. It became incomplete the day Chief Judge Linares dismissed the case. Headlines do not auto-update.
- 03
Bloomberg Law covered the 2024 civil verdict and the appeal.
Bloomberg Law has continued to track the SEC civil matter, including the registration-only theory and the Eleventh Circuit appeal currently pending. The civil case is not a fraud finding — it is a cross-border broker-dealer registration question.
- 04
Bloomberg's profile page lists Guy Gentile as a financial-industry founder.
https://www.bloomberg.com/profile/person/16706904 — Bloomberg's own structured profile reflects the founder role, not the framing some Google snippets pull from older articles.
- 05
Read every Bloomberg piece, in order, before drawing a conclusion.
The complete archive — 2016 indictment, 2017 dismissal, 2019 SureTrader wind-up, 2024 SEC verdict, 2025+ appeal coverage — tells a coherent story. Reading any single piece in isolation does not.
