Fraud
The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has barred former investment adviser Surage Kamal Roshan Perera after he defrauded at least one client out of over $6 million through a web of lies, unauthorized trading, and concealed losses.
Between February 2022 and March 2023, Perera—while operating through his unregistered advisory firm Janues Capital Incorporated—misled a client by fabricating investment opportunities and reporting fictitious profits. In reality, Perera diverted funds for unauthorized, high-volume, and highly leveraged trades, resulting in substantial losses. He concealed those losses by falsifying account information and misrepresenting the value of the investments.
In October 2023, Perera pled guilty to one count of securities fraud and, in May 2024, was sentenced to 78 months in prison and ordered to pay $6.3 million in restitution. On June 12, 2025, the SEC officially barred him from associating with any broker, dealer, investment adviser, or similar financial entity.
