Hudson Etienne Sr
AWC/2008015957201
Etienne misrepresented facts to an elderly customer who gave him $100,000 to invest in a Real Estate Investment Trust Investment Account purportedly through Etienne’s personal business, when no such security investment existed. Etienne used the customer’s funds for his personal expenses while providing the customer with monthly account statements that falsely indicated that her funds had been invested. Etienne provided the customer with a one-time payment of $22,000, purportedly representing interest earned on the investment. Etienne willfully failed to disclose material facts on his Form U4.
