When did you discover the fraud? If more than a year or so has passed after discovering the fraud, then it may be too late.

It would be very difficult due to the passage of time. You could try a lawsuit, arguing that you only recently discovered the fraud. You could also file a complaint with the consumer affairs division of the attorney general's office.

Too late probably. The statute of limitations has probably run.

Depends on a lot of things. When did you discover the fraud? If many years ago then too late. If recent, maybe. Fraud is a felon y. have you talked to police or DA (or did you just buy some typical bad stuff).

The statute of limitations has probably expired, but there are exceptions.

Probably not, however you should take the details to attorney to allow them to look at the situation for you. 13 years is generally too long but there are sometimes situations which will allow a cause of action anyway.

Yes, you can sue but whether you can win is a different question. When you say "fraudulen stocks" what do you mean? Did some one sell you stocks in a company that did not exist or was not registered? Is this what you mean by fraudulent stocks? If you bought stocks legitimately and the price of the stock fell dramatically, then it is unlikely a fraud case. I will need more details to know.
