The SEC announced that it has filed a temporary restraining order against Ron Harrison (Ron K. Harrison), a former registered broker and investment advisor (CRD#: 1785805) to freeze the assets of his company, Global Trading Institute, and his girlfriend since 2017, Irina Parfyonova. She is named as a relief defendant after receiving more than $279,000 from Harrison’s fraudulent activities, using the funds for their own living expenses. The US District Court in the Central District of California granted the SEC’s restraining order on September 30, 2021, freezing assets and requiring a full accounting of all funds. The court also set another hearing on October 14th to extend the emergency relief with a preliminary injunction.  The complaint states that Harrison and Parfyonova live in Ladera Ranch, CA. Harrison was unregistered, and ran his company, Global Trading Institute (GTI) since 2016 and the now-defunct Trading Advisement Program, LLC (TAP.) Neither were ever registered with the SEC. Harrison charged 22 clients $900,000 based on alleged gains he’d made trading options in the client’s accounts.The SEC announced that it has filed a temporary restraining order against Ron Harrison (Ron K.

The Securities And Exchange Commission recently released a bulletin on their investor website warning about frauds that incorporate digital assets and cryptocurrencies into their scams. Investing in cryptocurrency such as Bitcoin, Litecoin, Ethereum, and other so-called “digital assets” are a truly 21st Century way to invest. For someone who is tech-savvy as well as educated with investing, dipping into crypto may be a next-generation investment that offers returns on an investment. Blockchain-based and without physical currency, digital assets and crypto are only issued and traded electronically, making defrauding investors even easier than before. There is no central overseeing agency, such as the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) or Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC.) Unfortunately, like so-called “pot stocks,” crypto trading has also become a fraudster’s dream.The Securities And Exchange Commission recently released a bulletin on their investor website warning about frauds that incorporate digital assets and cryptocurrency into their scams.

John Edgar Simmons, Jr. (CRD: #4878890) is a former registered broker and insurance advisor whose last known employer was LPL Financial LLC (CRD#:6413) of Gulf Breeze, FL. He was previously employed with Investors Capital Corp. (CRD#:30613) of Pensacola, FL, LPL Financial in McMinnville, TN, and Edward Jones (CRD#:250), also of McMinnville. He has been in the industry since 2005. LPL terminated Simmons employment and filed a Form U5 with FINRA on 9/17/2020 indicating his discharge from the firm. The stated reason for his discharge was the result of an internal review investigating Simmons involvement in a private securities transaction. He neither notified the firm nor sought permission. During the course of FINRA’s investigation, staff sent Simmons a letter requesting he supply information and documentation related to the allegations in the Form U5. FINRA staff sent the letter on 02/24/2021. Simmons’ attorney responded by letter on 3/9/2021, acknowledging receipt of the FINRA request and indicating that he would not provide any information now or in the future. His denial violates FINRA Rules 8210 and 2010, and led to a letter of Acceptance, Waiver & Consent (AWC). The letter includes a bar on any involvement with a FINRA member in any capacity. John Edgar Simmons, Jr. (CRD: #4878890) is a former registered broker and insurance advisor whose last known employer was LPL Financial LLC (CRD#:6413) of Gulf Breeze, FL.
