There was a recent report in the Wall Street Journal that former Nebraska football players, Steve Octavien and Marlon Lucky, accepted gifts from financial advisor, MARY R. WONG (CRD# 1745747), while they were at Nebraska. This was in an article about financial advisors who take advantage of athletes. Steve Octavien and brothers Daniel and Josh Bullocks, claim they lost hundreds of thousands of dollars which they earned during their professional football careers.
Wong was banned by the New York Stock Exchange panel in 2007 for defrauding two widowed clients out of $150,000. In 2010, Wong pled guilty to securities fraud. Mary Wong is now serving a 63-month sentence in a federal prison.
Wong was registered with First Investors Corp. and Wells Fargo until 2004. She solicited several of the Nebraska football players during their careers. Octavien reported that his scholarship was not enough to cover all of his living expenses, so he went to Wong for help.
Daniel Bullocks said there were many financial advisors offering players gifts and cash, and many players felt they were being groomed as future clients after leaving Nebraska and possibly signing on as a professional player. Marlon Lucky did not invest with Wong after his playing career was over, however, Octavien and the Bullocks brothers did invest with Wong only to lose their investment.
