Shepherd, Smith, Edwards & Kantas (\u201cSSEK\u201d)<\/a>, a law firm specializing in representing wronged investors, is looking into allegations by the SEC against former Merrill Lynch financial advisor, Marcus Boggs (\u201cBoggs\u201d).\u00a0 Boggs reportedly joined Merrill Lynch in 2006, working in the company\u2019s Chicago office.\u00a0 The SEC has alleged that Boggs stole client funds in excess of $1.7 million<\/a>.\u00a0 The stolen assets were used to cover personal expenses, including credit card charges.\u00a0 According to the SEC, Boggs sought to portray himself as a pillar of the Chicago community, involving himself with various charities and attending social events in an effort to ingratiate himself with the city elite. Also, according to the SEC, Boggs maintained he managed of $40 million in assets for his clients.<\/p>\n

Merrill Lynch fired Boggs over the SEC charges in December of 2018.\u00a0 Had Merrill been properly supervising Boggs, the company may have prevented some of the theft.\u00a0 According to FINRA, Boggs has three complaints on his official record<\/a> all involving unauthorized transfers from client accounts.\u00a0 Merrill wisely sought resolution of these matters and it appears none have actually gone to hearing.<\/p>\n

SSEK has experience in representing customers of financial advisors who either stole their money, or stole the money of other clients.\u00a0 SSEK\u2019s experience shows that before a financial advisor begins stealing money, he or she often does other things that are wrong for clients, such as unsuitable investing, churning, unauthorized trading or other misconduct.\u00a0 Even after theft is uncovered, those other wrongs often go unnoticed and are never addressed without a customer hiring a law firm like SSEK.<\/p>\n
