Most recently registered with Edward Jones in Indiana, PA, Bernard Parker is now permanently barred from acting as a broker or otherwise associating with firms that sell securities to the public.
According to his FINRA BrokerCheck record, Parker is accused of stealing investor money to remodel his house and pay other bills. In fact, in November 2015, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) announced fraud charges against Parker. In its complaint, the SEC alleges that Parker conducted an unregistered and fraudulent offering of securities that raised more than $1.2 million from his longstanding brokerage customers and others who were told they were purchasing legitimate tax lien certificates and would earn returns of six to nine percent annually.
