In November of 2020, after FINRA case #201806312301, without admitting or denying the findings, Phillips consented to the sanctions and to the entry of findings that he participated in private securities transactions without prior disclosure to and approval from his member firm.   The findings stated that Phillips solicited investors to purchase $876,636 in securities of a company that represented itself as a structured cash flow investment that purchased pensions at a discount from pensioners and then sold a portion of those pensions as a pension stream to investors.   Phillips received a total of $33,184 in commissions in connection with his sales of the company’s securities.   Subsequently, the company ceased business owing nearly $300 million in unpaid investor payments.    In an indictment, the United States charged the company and its owner with conspiracy to engage in mail and wire fraud related to its operations.   Later Phillips entered into a settlement agreement with a court-appointed receiver for the company agreeing to repay $22,500 of the $33,184 in commissions he received.  Sanctions were a nine month suspension , commencing 12/07/2020, and a $5,000 fine levied against Phillips individually.

In October of 2018, FINRA case #18-03377 a customer of ProEquities alleged that his investment in Future Income Payments was misrepresented.   This case settled for $90,000.
