We have been following the case involving Jerry Cicolani, Jr. and Kelly Hood relating to the Ponzi scheme involving KGTA Petroleum. Last month, we posted a blog regarding charges the SEC brought against Cicolani and Hood for their involvement in the Ponzi scheme. Now, both respondents have submitted an Offer of Settlement.
For Cicolani and Hood, the sanctions include a bar from any association with a brokerage firm or investment advisory firm. They had already previously both been barred from the industry by the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) for refusing to cooperate in an investigation by FINRA into the KGTA Ponzi scheme.
