Investors Indicate Alternative Investments Misrepresented

Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”) reports troubling allegations of sales practice violations by securities broker Ray Gene Reese (CRD#: 1694620, Farmington, Missouri).

Here’s more on the disclosures about him.

Money Concepts Capital Corp Client Complains About Ray Reese

In June 2020, a client of Money Concepts Capital Corp complained about Ray Reese. It seems that Reese possibly caused the client to lose an investment opportunity that would have supposedly paid $100,000 at the client’s retirement. Allegedly, Reese caused the client to experience a tax liability on an IRA or variable annuity transaction. For this reason, the client demanded $200,000 from Reese or Money Concepts Capital Corp. This matter awaits a resolution.

Also, in May 2018, a client of Money Concepts Capital Corp filed a dispute over Ray Reese’s sale of a real estate security.

Moreover, FINRA BrokerCheck shows a dispute from 2015 in which a client contested Ray Reese’s sales practices. Allegedly, Reese had the client invest in Business Development Corp. of America.

The client indicated that those investments were too risky and that the values of those investments dropped at a “frightening rate.” Not only that, but the client was supposedly not qualified as an accredited investor and should not have invested in those securities.
