SEC Charges Wisconsin Financial Advisor For Allegedly Defrauding Senior Investors

From the Desk of Jim Eccleston at ÍøÆØ³Ô¹Ï.

The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has charged a Wisconsin-based financial advisor, Anthony Liddle, with misappropriating $1.9 million from at least 13 investors.

Liddle allegedly falsified documents and made several misrepresentations to clients, many of whom were seniors, according to the SEC. The SEC alleges that Liddle falsely informed the investors that some securities in their portfolios needed to be replaced with securities featuring less volatility. However, the purported “less risky” investments often were rated as high risk or were unavailable, according to the SEC.

The SEC alleges that Liddle collected funds from clients to make the “less risky” investments, but the funds were misappropriated and never invested on the clients’ behalf. The SEC’s complaint further accuses Liddle of making purported interest payments, which were merely funded by earlier investors in the fraudulent scheme. The SEC is seeking injunctive relief, disgorgement, and civil penalties.

I learned two important things working with ÍøÆØ³Ô¹Ï. First, I made a friend and ally with Jim and Steph for life. Secondly, and this is a crucial life lesson - if you need counsel, then seek out the very best. Jim was referred to me by a most trusted source. I've never had to hire an attorney for anything. Now, I know the value of hiring an important partner. Meticulous, thorough and detailed in preparation is the best way to describe Jim. Brilliant too, I might add. Bottom line, I would highly highly recommend Jim and Stephany for your legal needs. One of the best life decisions I've ever made.
