History

Stansberry Research (previously Stansberry & Associates) was founded in 1999 as an independent investment research firm.[1] In addition to his editorial duties, company founder, Frank Porter Stansberry, writes opinion pieces in a variety of financial publications discussing diverse and controversial issues ranging from the auto bailout to the European financial panic, among others.[3][4][5][6] Other Stansberry public information efforts include production of a 2011 infomercial entitled "The End of America," as well as the founding of "The Project to Restore America," a 2012 endeavor aimed at restructuring American governance.[3][7]

In 2014, Snopes.com investigated the firm's claim that United States currency will "collapse", and found such claims to be false.[8]

SEC case

In November 2003, the Securities and Exchange Commission accused Stansberry of fraud committed while he edited various newsletters published under the umbrella of Agora, Inc. and Agora subsidiary, Pirate Investors LLC.[15][16][17] In August 2007, the court found Stansberry guilty with the U.S. Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals and subsequently denied a 2009 appeal.[17][18][19] Stansberry sought to shed light on the controversy in a March 2010 self-authored, third party blog piece entitled "Why The SEC Sued Me-And Why You Should Care."[20]
