Fraud by Financial Advisor

I am living in CALIFORNIA, and I am a senior citizen who has been the victim of fraud by my financial advisor and the people that he does buisness with. I have lost over $500,000.00 in gold and cash. This was my entire life savings. I am now on welfare thanks to these people. My finacial advisor lost his license this was unknown to me, but he still continued to act as my advisor and collect money for his services. I need legal help to advise me, and to help me get my money back. I can't afford to hire a lawyer, but I would be willing to pay a reward of $250,000.00 for the legal return of my money and the arrest of the people involved. Do you have any ideas how to get a lawyer to do pro bono work?

My response:

Please look at the top, left, corner of this page. It says, "State Laws vary greatly. Include your state in all postings."
A lot of you have "State specific" questions, yet you good folks are not reading, and FAIL to tell us your State. There are 50 States in the Union, and all have differing laws. We cannot help you with anything but "general" concepts of law if we don't know your State, and "general concepts" may HURT YOU.

NOTICE:
Therefore, this writer will, from now on, IGNORE all questions and entries unless they include your State.

Was the "advisor" self employed or did s/he work for/ clear thru a firm?
