Georgia Securities Arbitration Lawyers Who Handle Ponzi Scheme Cases

Did Kenneth Brownlee Cause You Investment Losses? Kenneth Brownlee, a former representative with Athens, Georgia-based Allstate Financial Services, LLC consented to the (FINRA) findings that he made unsuitable investment recommendations to what was a fraudulent Ponzi scheme, causing his customers to lose their entire investments. Kenneth Brownlee allegedly recommended that four of his Allstate Financial customers invest in Capital City Corporation (CCC), which turned out to be a classic Ponzi scheme using investor funds to pay for personal expenses and earnings to earlier investors. According to FINRA, Mr. Brownlee had no reasonable basis to believe that the securities associated with the CCC Ponzi scheme were suitable for his customers, all of whom had limited investment experience and were not sophisticated investors. FINRAs findings state that the investments were not approved by his member firm and Mr. Brownlee neglected to get the advance approval from the firm to sell the investments. Consequently, Mr. Brownlee was permanently barred from association with any FINRA member in any capacity. Georgia has thousands of stock brokerage firms and investment advisory offices. With so many stock brokerage firms and investment advisory offices, comes the potential for their stockbrokers, financial advisors, and other representatives to recommend investments in Ponzi Schemes and engage in all sorts of misconduct which violates Federal and Georgia securities laws and Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) rules and stock brokerage firms policies and procedures.

Georgia Securities Attorney For Variable Annuities Investment Disputes

Did Cecilia Sawyer, aka Cecilia Villanueva Cause You Investment Losses? Cecilia Sawyer, aka Cecilia Villanueva, a former broker at Duluth, Georgia based PFS Investments Inc., was sanctioned based on the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority’s (FINRA) findings that she claimed her customer’s variable annuity death benefits for her own personal use. FINRA’s findings stated that after one of Ms. Sawyer’s customers invested $130,000 in a variable annuity, the annuitant died and the beneficiary divorced the same year. No annuity claim was filed at the time. FINRA found that approximately three years later, Ms. Sawyer made a claim for the death benefit and directed it to be mailed to the beneficiary at a mailbox she opened. A $148,361 check was mailed to the beneficiary at that mailbox, where Ms. Sawyer deposited the check in a checking account she opened in the beneficiary’s name, without his knowledge or consent. Ms. Sawyer and her husband withdrew funds from the account for their own benefit. FINRA’s findings also stated that Ms. Sawyer failed to respond to FINRA requests for information and documents. Ms. Sawyer of Federal Way, Washington was prohibited from association with any FINRA member in any capacity. Georgia has thousands of stock brokerage firms and investment advisory offices.

Greenacres Florida Securities Attorney For Variable Annuities Investment Disputes

Did Christie Andersen Cause You Investment Losses? Christie Andersen of Greenacres Florida was charged for being a part of a variable annuity scheme that netted more than $5 million from over 20 investors. Mrs. Anderson worked at Prime Capital Services, Inc. (PCS) as a compliance officer working closely with PCS president Michael Ryan and other executives of the company. The annuity scheme was perpetrated primarily by four PCS representatives who targeted senior citizens. The representatives made false statements and omissions in selling the variable annuities. They all hid their very high commissions. As a compliance officer at PCS, it was Mrs. Anderson’s responsibility to find unsuitable transactions and other misconduct associated with investing. Unfortunately, she allegedly never questioned any of the sales for misconduct and was charged with failure-to-supervise. Mrs. Anderson agreed to a settlement that suspended her from any supervisory positions for 12 months as well as a $10,000 civil penalty fee. Greenacres Florida has a number of stock brokerage firms and investment advisory offices.
