Indiana Broker, Lynn Simon, Pleads Guilty to Securities Fraud

According to www.theindychannel.com, Indiana broker, Lynn A. Simon plead guilty to charges stemming from allegations that he defrauded investors of more than $1 million.

The report said that law enforcement agents began investigating Simon after his wife reported him missing. In addition the Indiana Secretary of State’s Office received complaints about Simon.

According to BrokerCheck, Simon was a registered representative with CDF Investments from 09/2008 – 05/2013. However, the report states he operated a satellite office under the name Financial Security Planning, as well as another business, The Insurance Shoppe.

Allegedly, Simon sold promissory notes through Financial Security Planning that were not registered with the Indiana States Securities Department as required by law.

Brokerage firms have a responsibility to monitor the business transactions of their employees, including transactions that occur outside of the firm. When a broker sells an investment product that is not approved by the firm, the act can be considered selling away. If a broker is convicted of selling away, the brokerage firm may be liable for negligent supervision and responsible for investment losses.
