Goodman & Nekvasil P.A., May Recover Investor Losses | Michael Murphy – Michael Patrick Murphy, Complaint Filed by FINRA
CRD # 2596905
Michael Murphy has been licensed with Columbus Advisory Group, Ltd. Since 2003. FINRA reports that it has filed a complaint against Michael Murphy.
ACCORDING TO FINRA: From February 2014 through May 2018, Michael Patrick Murphy willfully failed to timely amend his Uniform Application for Securities Industry Registration or Transfer (“Form U4”) to disclose three federal income tax liens filed by the IRS (the “IRS Liens”) and four tax warrants filed by the State of New York (the “NY State Tax Warrants” and, collectively, the “Liens”) totaling more than $6 million. As required by law, the IRS and NY State send contemporaneous notices of liens to delinquent taxpayers. Murphy ignored his obligation to report the Liens after receiving those notices from the IRS and NY State. Beginning in May 2015, FINRA sent Michael Murphy letters notifying him of tax liens it had identified through public records searches and reminding him of his obligation to report those liens. Despite this prompting, Michael Murphy still failed to disclose his liens. After more than two years of correspondence in which FINRA asked Murphy to report his Liens, in November 2017, FINRA staff showed Murphy documentation of six of the Liens during on-the record testimony, and in February 2018 mailed him copies of that same documentation. Still, Michael Murphy did not report any of the Liens on his Form U4 until May 18, 2018, well after the 30-day period required to report such liens.
