Phillip Conley - Merrill LynchPhillip Conley (CRD#: 4799544) was charged by the SEC with conducting a $5.2 million fraudulent securities offering.

The complaint alleges that between January 2014 and September 2018, Conley induced investors to purchase securities by making a series of materially false and misleading statements and omissions concerning the legitimacy of the investments and use of investor proceeds.

The complaint also alleges that Conley failed to invest those proceeds, instead of using them for his personal benefit, including private jet rentals, luxury purchases, dining, and entertainment. The remainder of the proceeds he used to pay earlier investors in a Ponzi-like fashion.

The SEC is seeking a permanent injunction, disgorgement of ill-gotten gains, prejudgment interest, and civil monetary penalties.

Conley has five other disclosures on his BrokerCheck report.
