The Company further noted it was unable to pay rent, pay staff, and was also at risk of losing its patents.

The problem with pharmaceutical investments such as Echo Therapeutics, Inc. is that they typically involve a high degree of risk. The research and development process for pharma companies often involves costly and lengthy testing trials that yield specific data. If the expected data or end points are not met, that could be bad news for investors.

Broker dealers are required to perform adequate due diligence on any investment they recommend and to ensure that all recommendations are suitable for the investor. Firms that fail to do so, may be held responsible for any losses in a FINRA arbitration claim.
