Israels & Neuman, PLC files FINRA Arbitration Claim Against First Financial Equity Corp. Related to Investment in TMAC and Representative Robert Kerrigan
SEATTLE, Oct. 19, 2016 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Israels & Neuman, PLC announces that it has filed a Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) arbitration claim against First Financial Equity Corp. of Scottsdale, Arizona on behalf of an aggrieved investor. The claim was filed in Phoenix, Arizona.
The claim alleges that the investor was in contact with one of First Financial Equity Corp.'s former advisors, Robert J. Kerrigan, Sr., who allegedly recommended that they invest in a company called TMAC (also known as "The Materials Acquisition Company"). The investment in TMAC was purported to be an investment in "ancient slag," whereby the slag could be processed to obtain minerals and precious metals.
The claim further alleges that Kerrigan represented that the TMAC investment was safe and provided for complete liquidity within six to twelve months. The TMAC investment, however, has failed to pay any distributions and resulted in substantial losses to investor principal. First Financial Equity Corp. has been added to the claim based upon allegations that it failed to adequately supervise the conduct of Kerrigan.
The claim also alleges that Kerrigan recommended another investment in a company called USA Barcelona Realty; however, the claim does not allege that the USA Barcelona investment was purchased by the investor in question. FINRA barred Kerrigan from the securities industry in May 2016, for failing to respond to a FINRA investigation allegedly related to his involvement in selling investments in USA Barcelona Realty.
