The SEC said Dunn “then proceeded to betray the customer’s trust” by engaging in a “series of material misrepresentations” about the purchase and sale of securities in her account. That and other fraudulent actions were “aimed at swindling [the client] out of a substantial portion” of her 9\/11 widow’s compensation.<\/p>\n

Dunn allegedly misappropriated $248,000 from the client by creating a joint account in both their names, forging her signature on transaction documents, and “telling her outrageous lies” concerning the status of the account. He also deceived her into providing him with blank checks which he used to deposit funds into his own bank account.<\/p>\n
