The Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) reports that Matthew A. Bell , 47 of Boerne, TX, a broker who formerly worked for WFG Investments and Securities America, has been named in 46 customer disputes alleging damages in excess of $2.5M. There are two disputes that have not yet been resolved, all of which allege unsuitable recommendations and misrepresentation and seek damages ranging from $5,000 to $75,000.

Bell was permitted to resign from WFG Investments in 6/2013 and is not currently registered with any broker dealer. Bell pleaded guilty to conspiracy to commit securities fraud and conspiracy to commit mail and wire fraud in a civil action brought by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).

The SEC had charged Bell and a group of other conspirators with pumping up the price of penny stocks and dumping them on unsuspecting investors. The companies involved in the pump and dump were CodeSmart Holdings Inc., Cubed Inc., StarStream Entertainment Inc. and The Staffing Group Ltd. 

Bell found many of his victims through the Oak Hills Church.
