The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) charged Donna Jessee Tucker, based in Roanoke, Va., with defrauding elderly customers, including some who are legally blind. Tucker allegedly stole $730,289 for her own personal use, including cars, vacations, country club memberships, and falsifying her clients' account statements to cover up her fraud. Tucker also allegedly engaged in unauthorized trading, and forging her elderly clients' brokerage accounts, banking accounts, and other documents.
The director of the SEC's Philadelphia office said that Tucker befriended her customers, gained their trust, took their money and gave them phony documents hiding her theft.
