Articles of Interest 096 - Ruthless

Another ruthless @#$% shaking down his community and his own family. Yet it would appear that nobody checked to see if he was indeed a qualified and registered investment advisor.

Cowards die many times before their deaths;
The valiant never taste of death but once.


- William Shakespeare (1564 - 1616), "Julius Caesar", Act II Scene 2

Family of Earl Jones call on the investment broker to come forward

'We want to express our profound regret for the pain and suffering he has caused and state our own sense of deception,' statement says

Montreal — The Canadian Press Last updated on Monday, Jul. 20, 2009 08:37AM EDT

The wife and daughters of a financial planner who allegedly bilked clients out of millions of dollars say they are devastated.

In a statement released to the media Sunday through a media relations firm, wife Kimberly and daughter
Kristine of Montreal investment broker Earl Jones say they too have experienced anger, despair and
disillusionment.

“We want to express our profound regret for the pain and suffering he has caused and state our own sense of deception,” they say in the statement.

“The Earl Jones we knew was a loving husband, devoted father and grandfather and a respected member of the community. The Earl Jones who has been revealed in recent days is a man we can scarcely believe exists.”

His daughter says she fears she will never recover the funds she entrusted to her father and that the family was unaware of his business activities and will co-operate fully with authorities.

“We are anxious for Earl to come forward and provide and explanation,” they write. Quebec's securities regulator alleges between $30-million and $50-million is missing from accounts run by Jones.

Jones, who has been missing since last week, has not been charged and there is no warrant out for his arrest. Some of the alleged victims are now turning to food banks.
