David Todd Phillips (CRD #3094195, Gilbert, Arizona)
On November 18, 2020, FINRA issued an Acceptance, Waiver and Consent (AWC) in which David Todd Phillips was assessed a deferred fine of $5,000 and suspended from association with any FINRA member in all capacities for nine months, December 7, 2020 through September 6, 2021.
Without admitting or denying FINRA’s findings, David Todd Phillips consented to the sanctions and to the entry of findings that he allegedly participated in private securities transactions without prior disclosure to and approval from his member firm.
According to FINRA’s findings, David Todd Phillips allegedly solicited investors to purchase $876,636 in securities of a company that represented itself as a structured cash flow investment. FINRA states that Phillips received a total of $33,184 in commissions in connection with his sales of the company’s securities. However, the company ceased business, owing nearly $300 million in unpaid investor payments.
FINRA also stated that in an indictment, the United States charged the company and its owner with conspiracy to engage in mail and wire fraud related to its operations. David Todd Phillips then entered into a settlement agreement with a court-appointed receiver for the company, agreeing to repay $22,500 of the $33,184 in commissions that he received from his sales of the company’s securities.
