Flynn was last registered with IFS Securities (CRD #40375) of Greenville, SC, until 2/20/2018. There are 18 disclosures of varying types in his record, including judgments, a bankruptcy, and two employment discharges. The first, from IFS Securities, came after allegations of “trading ahead of authorization.” The second, on 2/10/2017, was by Voya Financial Advisors, Inc., (CRD#:2882) after allegations that Flynn “provided misleading information to the Firm during a complaint investigation.”
Although Flynn is barred from association with any FINRA company, he is still under FINRA’s jurisdiction, and FINRA can still conduct arbitration.
A customer complaint filed by a client’s attorney on 06/18/2018 alleges that Flynn “transferred assets from a 401k account into illiquid and unsuitable investments without proper diversification in August 2015.” No additional information is available, and the complaint is listed as “pending.”
Two previous complaints, filed on 05/04/2018 and 04/06/2018, allege unsuitability in both customers’ investment objectives. The cases were both settled, and the damages totaled $101,500.
Flynn also had four customer disputes in 2017, all during his tenure at Voya Financial Advisors. His comments indicated that the firm settled these cases. Reported damages totaled $213,085.90.
In 2015 and 2016 Flynn had three customer disputes, one of which was denied. The other two were settled by his former firm.
In 2013, Flynn received a dismissal in a bankruptcy. He also has one civil lien in 2011 as well as two tax liens in 2005.
