Bonney has two similar customer disputes in the disclosures in his record. The first was filed on 7/12/2022, alleging that in late 2020, Bonney solicited the client to invest in “Spyglass Financial Strategies,” an entity Bonney himself owned. The client was led to believe that the investment would have no risks as it was related to oil. Bonney also drafted the promissory note himself. As of the filing date, the terms of that note have not yet been met, and the client has suffered losses. The client has requested damages of $1,053,250.00, and the case is currently pending.
The second disclosure was filed on 9/16/2022 and alleges that Bonney recommended an investment to them “without a reasonable basis.” The claimants allege that Bonney indicated that there were no risks involved despite being unregistered. They have requested that Bonney return their investment but have only received a portion of that money. The clients are requesting damages of $49,000.00, and the case is currently pending.
MML Investors Services terminated Bonney on 1/20/2022 following an investigation into his undisclosed outside business activities (OBA) and unauthorized investment activities.
FINRA then began its own investigation into Bonney’s activities on 5/6/2022 and requested information related to that investigation. Bonney failed to respond to these requests. FINRA then sent two letters related to suspension on 5/6/2022 and 5/31/2022, respectively. FINRA then barred Bonney as of 8/9/2022. Bonney did not request a termination of his suspension within three months of the letter. Therefore, he is permanently barred from any association with any FINRA broker-dealer in any capacity.
