What the Wall Street Journal said about Florida attorney Carl Schoeppl:
A WSJ article says that he represented International Capital Management (ICM), which was based in Ft. Lauderdale.
That was in September, 1998. Then the next month, in October 1998, the SEC issued a "litigation release"
headline:
"SEC OBTAINS EMERGENCY RELIEF OVER FT. LAUDERDALE FOREIGN CURRENCY TRADING COMPANY THAT IT ALLEGES DEFRAUDED APPROXIMATELY $18 MILLION FROM OVER 1000 INVESTORS"
excerpt:
"The SEC alleges ICM used high pressure "boiler-room" telemarketing sales tactics to raise approximately $18 million from more than 1000 investors. According to the SEC, ICM told investors that it had consistently achieved extraordinary profits while promising that investors' principal would be safe. ICM told investors and potential investors that they could obtain returns of 3%-6% per month
The full SEC litigation release appears in the next post.
Now here's an excerpt from a September 1998 article in Wall Street Journal
ICM's former attorney, Carl Schoeppl, who represented the company until it was placed into receivership, says that the principals of ICM "voluntarily" brought the company to the SEC and agreed to the receivership.

I phoned the Florida bar and verified that there is only one Carl Schoeppl who is a member of the Florida bar. (Unlike Mr. Becka, Mr. Schoeppl is a member in good standing.)
