Dawn J. Bennett is accused of claiming that the Washington-based firm had over $2 billion in assets even though it never oversaw more than $407 million. She made the inflated claim multiple times on her radio show. She also purportedly said that the Bennett Group’s investment returns were among the top 1% globally. The SEC said that these bragged about returns came from a model portfolio and did not represent any real customer returns. <\/p>\n
