UPDATE 1-Six surrender over NY brokerage fraud-FBI
(Adds details)
NEW YORK , July 8 (Reuters) - Six employees of a retail brokerage surrendered to the FBI in New York on Wednesday as they face charges for a purported $140 million fraud, an official at the FBI said.
The brokerage has offices in the United States but many of the defrauded customers were in Britain and New Zealand, said the official, who declined to identify the firm until formal charges are made public.
A spokeswoman for the Office of the U.S. Attorney in Manhattan declined comment. (Reporting by Grant McCool, editing by Gerald E. McCormick)
