According to a news release from the Texas State Securities Board (“TSSB”), Gus Marwieh, president of Marwieh Advisory Services in Austin, Texas, had his registration revoked for the fraud-related sale of pension-linked investments and real estate development notes.
The release stated that Marwieh fraudulently sold over $5 million of investments without disclosing excessive commissions, misuse of client funds, and conflicts of interest.
After inspecting Marwieh’s books and records, the TSSB discovered that Marwieh primarily recommended investments in either Future Income Payments (FIP) supposedly based on payouts from pensions and promissory notes from real estate developers which were supposed to pay 18% annually.
The TSSB also discovered that Marwieh collected commissions on sales of these two products in excess of $300,000 and violated his fiduciary duty by not disclosing conflicts of interest to his customers and by using escrowed funds to pay personal expenses.
Marwieh consented to the Oct. 11 Disciplinary Order, which revoked the investor adviser registration of Marwieh Advisory Services and the investment adviser representative registration of Marwieh.
