Academy Securities???

Anyone heard of this company. It's a veteran-run investment bank based in north carolina, with several offices in financial hubs. They make absurd claims, which I just can't quite believe. Claims like:

"Since the beginning of 2015, Academy Securities has been involved in over 800 financing transactions, raising in excess of over $450 billion."

"Academy is awarded with the #1 ranking in the 2016 Global CMBS Lead-and Co-Manager League Tables."

They claim to bank $5Bn deals for Goldman and Berkshire Hathaway.

Is this blatantly completely bullshit or am I somehow not aware of one of the world's great investment banking juggernauts (along with everyone else).

It is all true, take a look at any CMBS prospectus and you will probably see them as a co-manager. They are on many, many, corporate deals as well.
