Broker Who Sold Ponzi Scheme Investments Barred by FINRA

From the Desk of Jim Eccleston at Eccleston Law LLC:

Kari Bracy, a broker who worked for NYLife Securities from 2009 until 2019, has agreed to a bar from the securities industry.  On January 16, 2020, Bracy signed a letter of Acceptance, Waiver and Consent (“AWC”), agreeing to be barred from the securities industry for failing to appear for an on-the-record interview with FINRA. 

FINRA was conducting an investigation into Bracy’s sale of a structured cash flow investment offered by Future Income Payments, LLC.   According to FINRA Brokercheck, Bracy received a customer complaint in July 2018 for alleged misrepresentations related to a customer’s investment in Future Income Payments, LLC. According to Brokercheck, the customer dispute was settled for $80,000. 

Future Income Payments, LLC, stopped doing business in early 2018.  At that time, investors were owed approximately $300 million.  Scott Kohn, CEO of Future Income Payments, LLC, has since been indicted on a federal charge of conspiracy to engage in mail and wire fraud for his involvement in the scheme.
