Former LPL Financial Advisor Sonya Camarco – Colorado Springs, Colorado
According to reports today, Sonya Camarco, former LPL Financial advisor, has been sentenced to 20 years in prison for allegedly stealing client funds.
From January 2013 to May 2017, Camarco purportedly diverted more than $1.8 million in client funds for personal use, including real estate, taxes, car expenses and credit card payments, according to a press release published by the Colorado Department of Regulatory Agencies.
Camarco received a 10-year sentence each; for one count of securities fraud and one count of theft over $100,000 according to reports. She also received a probation sentence of 20 years for filing false tax returns, which she’ll serve concurrently with her time in prison. Camarco is also required to pay $1.8 million in restitution.
According to her BrokerCheck report, Camarco was registered with LPL Financial in Colorado Springs, Colorado from February 2004 until August 2017 when she was fired “for depositing third party checks from client accounts into a bank account she controlled and accessing client funds for personal use.” After her dismissal, the SEC reportedly obtained a court order to freeze Camarco’s assets.
