forsyth

I don't consider myself poor and downtrodden since I have basically what I need. A roof over my head, food on my table, meducine, heat when its cold, fans when its hot. More than a **** of a lot of people have.I don't pay too much attention to ignorance but all the multiple personality disorders I see do amuse me. If more people lived within their means and stopped trying to steal everything others have and stooped trying to keep up with everyone else to brag about what they own, it would be a far better world than it is

All man Dan, but I'm sure I could dig up those pictures from Halloween back in the day

Look at the compassionate dimocrat beating up on the poor and downtrodden. That's why you see old beatup pickup trucks with Trump stickers on them. MAGA is the the working man's choice. (And women, of course)

Thus is interesting in one post I am a HE, another pozt I'm a she. Would s make up your minds or am I a sweet transvestite from Translavania??

Billy when I worked every hour I coukd work according to some I was nothing. Now that I can no longer work I'm considered nothing so I would say nothing has changed.

In North Carolina, nearly one in five residents, about 2,183,353 million people, receive Social Security benefits, according to AARP States. A significant portion, 50% of residents aged 65 and older (880,949), rely on the program for at least half of their income.

lol yall posting in a Dan thread. Ol Dan, such a silly goose, peddling his lies all over, and people fall for em. That's our Dan for ya.

@hardcase

She's a Trumper. That's right, an old lady who relies solely on government assistance and lives in a camper with no electricity or running water, is MAGA.

Glad you can afford the internet. Everything is higher under Mr. Orange Jesus. Our Only hope is voting the greedy pigs out of office.

Oooohhhh look at Ol Dan, he so mad!

But dog I am glad you told us about old Jims offshore bank accounts. I will pass it on to the lawyers suing his *** so all those scammed by him can get their money back.

Dog I won't gloat until they put the handcuffs on him or he is dead one. But I did warn him.in 2006 what he had coming his way as did my daughter. Here's what I do know. He started hiding assets when that started. His house in Charlotte was put in the na MMB e David Heafner. My question is does David Heafner really exist or is it another alias?? Old Jim has used so many of those guess he ran out and had to start with D now. Selling insurance in Florida certainly won't keep him in the lifestyle he thinks he is entitled too.

Poor Dan keep his lies straight. Classic Dan. Dan's sending all that money overseas but can't pay me back the $35 I loaned him in 1994.

You are so stupid krazy, his money is long gone overseas where it cant be touched. You can stop gloating now.

Now lets talk TRACKHOE DOG. From what I am hearing between the Feds abd those lawsuits someone is taking a TRACKHOE through old Jims bank account and maybe, just maybe the WHITE COLLAR CROOK money trail will come to his croonies in Ashe County. Guess he'll be living off of wifey if he isn't in jail.

Panel finds Charlotte-area financial advisor committed securities fraud, awards punitive damages

By Jennifer Miller and David Hodges
Updated: Oct. 10, 2019 at 1:58 PM EDT
CHARLOTTE, N.C. (WBTV) - An arbitration panel found that a well-known financial advisor in the Charlotte area committed securities fraud. The law firm Goodman & Nekvasil, P.A. announced that they have won a $1.03 million FINRA arbitration award for their clients against James Hal Heafner.

Clients of Heafner claim he squandered hundreds of thousands of dollars by investing in a risky business, according to complaints filed with the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority. The company he invested in is facing a lawsuit from the Securities and Exchange Commission.

The arbitration award includes $400,000 in punitive damages.

Heafner is accused of investing clients' money in 1st Global Capital, according the complaints filed with FINRA. 1st Global is a South Florida company that has now had its assets frozen by the Securities and Exchange Commission. The SEC claims that 1st Global was paying commissions to registered and unregistered investment advisors to fraudulently raise $287 million in investments.

According to the SEC court filing, the owner of 1st Global put $35 million into his own pocket or his own companies. The SEC also claims 1st Global falsified financial information, including the return on investment.

"Evidence of the arbitration hearing showed that Heafner falsely represented that 1 Global was a safe investment and failed to disclose the risks of the investment," legal documents state.

The panel awarded $1,033,362 against Heafner, which included attorney fees and $100,000 in punitive damages to each of the claimants.

"The Arbitration Panel specifically found that Heanfer committed 'fraud, intentional misrepresentation, reckless disregard of high risk and reckless disregard of securities statutes by selling unregistered securities,'" documents state.

When 1 Global filed for bankruptcy, Heafner reportedly sent each of his clients a letter. Court documents state the letter read, "I could easily retire and move to an island, but our job is to try and do our best for you, knowing that life is full of perils." The document says "ironically," Heafner moved to Puerto Rico and abandoned his clients.

Charlotte area financial advisor faces claims of mismanaging investments
Viewers may recognize Heafner, as he paid for sponsored content on WBTV's lifestyle program Morning Break. That relationship ended in November 2017. Heafner also advertised on WBTV until February 2018.

According to FINRA, Heafner was fired from a company for his outside business activities. Heafner confirmed to WBTV it was related to investments he made for his clients.

Heafner provided an email statement to WBTV in response to the FINRA ruling.

"It is important to know three things about 1Global and my involvement: 1) My clients will lose a substantial amount of their 1Global investment 2) I, alone, am responsible for recommending 1Global to my clients, and 3) I would never have recommended it to my clients, or invested myself had I known the extent to which 1Global represented itself," Heafner wrote.

Attorney Kalju Nekvasil, who represented the Heafner's clients in the FINRA case said they will continue to pursue Heafner to collect the award. He says so far Heafner has not provided any personal financial information.

Nekvasil also said they will file a claim against 1st Global's insurance carrier to try and collect on the FINRA award.

On the FINRA website three customers of Jim Heafner claim he was negligent in investing their money in 1st Global. They say the losses add up to almost a half a million dollars.

"I did receive commissions on this like most anything else that certainly wasn't the motivating factor," Heafner said.

He did not tell WBTV how much he made in commission or whether it was more than other security commissions. Heafner estimated he had 45 clients whose money he invested in 1st Global.

WBTV obtained a letter a client says was sent to them from Heafner. The client does not wish to be named. In it Heafner compares himself to Captain 'Sully' Sullenberger, the pilot who landed the plane in the Miracle on the Hudson.

The letter reads "I always did the best for my clients and like Sully I am being accused of making the wrong call by clients, authorities and attorneys."

It also reads "The authorities say I didn't follow protocol and that I should lose my licenses for my mistake.

Heafner's material on WBTV was paid advertising and paid sponsored content and was not endorsed by WBTV. That relationship ended in February 2018. Six months later Heafner was terminated from the company that employed him. He is no longer a registered broker according to information publicly available on the FINRA and SEC websites.
