shutterstock_186772637The securities lawyers of Gana Weinstein LLP are investigating Clifford Morgan (Morgan) bar from the securities industry. The Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) recently brought an enforcement action (FINRA No. 2011025610501) against Morgan alleging that between November 2011 and December 2014, while he was associated with brokerage firm Uhlmann Price, Securities, LLC (Uhlmann Price) Morgan participated in private securities transactions – also referred to as “selling away” in the industry – without providing notice to his firm. FINRA also found that in engaging in the private securities transactions Morgan made material misrepresentations to customers and also participated in numerous outside business activities without providing the required notice to the firm.

Clifford Morgan entered the securities industry in January 2004. Between January 2007 and December 2014, Morgan was associated with Uhlmann Price. On December 5, 2014, Uhlmann Price filed a Form U5 reporting that Morgan had been “permitted to resign” with the explanation that the ”registered representative participated in private securities transactions in conflict with firm policies.”

It is unclear from the regulatory filings what companies were invested in but from publicly available information, Morgan’s brokercheck disclosures reveal several outside business activities including US College Planning, W&C Business Management, Strategis Wealth Consulting, and Strategis Wealth Advisory Group.
