The customers alleged that IRA contributions in the amount of $12,000 paid directly to Mid-Atlantic Financial were unaccounted for, which resulted in tax liabilities allegedly committed by Jonathan Williams. The customers alleged that Jonathan Williams invested their funds in unsuitable, risky, and high commission products, effectuating withdrawals from their accounts sometimes through forged documents resulting in large surrender charges and unnecessary tax consequences and penalties. The customers’ further alleged that Mr. Williams created private placement investments and certificates of deposit and stole their funds, demanding checks and payment of fees to entities under his control. The customers demanded $900,000 reimbursem*nt for misappropriated funds and unsuitable sales.
