The Certified Financial Professional Board of Standards Inc. has revoked the right of three CFP designees to use the professional designation for failing to answer the board’s complaints.

William W. Gammon of Towson, Md., can no longer use the designation because he failed to answer a CFP Board complaint that he recommended and sold clients alternative investments that were unsuitable given the clients’ ages, risk tolerances and investment objectives.

The investments unsuitably concentrated the clients’ assets in alternative and real estate investments and the investments did not meet the clients’ liquidity restrictions, the complaint says.

The right of Lee D. Weiss of Boston, Mass., to use the CFP designation was revoked after Weiss failed to answer a board complaint that he recommended and sold investments to his clients that were not suitable and he did not reveal his interests in the investments.

The board also revoked the right of Carolyn C. Kaufman of Hudson, Ohio, to use the professional designation after she failed to answer a complaint that she had been permanently barred from the industry by the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority. The Finra action was because of her involvement in a case involving forgery of an investment contract.

The right of Gregory H. Bray of Alton, Ill., to use the designation has been suspended for 366 days due to action taken by Finra. Finra determined he failed to adequately supervise the sales of complex products and Class A shares of leveraged-inverse mutual funds and that he conducted business in New Hampshire without being licensed there.

Timothy R. Rodgers of Overland Park, Kan., had his right to use the designation suspended for five months because Finra determined he participated in two unapproved securities transactions and made false statements in annual compliance questionnaires relating to the securities transactions.

Letters of admonition were issued against three advisors:

Frank A. Molinar of Scottsdale, Ariz., for filing for bankruptcy three times.

Charles Zsarnay of Toledo, Ohio, for being convicted of copying drivers’ licenses.

Michael Joseph Eugenio of Lake Oswego, Ore., for charging a client unreasonable fees. He did not admit or deny the findings.
