In the cases of the other advisors, each described himself as “fee only” on the CFP Board’s “Find a CFP Professional” search tool or to clients despite the fact that they received commissions through the sale of insurance products or securities.

Other disciplinary actions were also announced by the board.

The right of Michael John Smeriglio III of Greenwich, Conn., to use the CFP mark was permanently revoked after he took a loan from a trust in an estate he controlled. Smeriglio resigned from his firm after admitting he took the loan.

Walter P. Priebe of Fort Lauderdale, Fla., can no longer use the CFP mark because he served as the trustee, attorney-in-fact, beneficiary or transfer-on-death for several clients without disclosing to the clients that it was a conflict of interest for him to simultaneously serve as an investment advisor to the clients. One of the clients was mentally incapacitated at the time of the beneficiary designation.

The right of Erik Bohn of Bethesda, Md., to use the mark was revoked after he failed to appear for testimony before the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority during its investigation of a dispute between Bohn and his partner.

Other advisors had their right to use the CFP mark permanently revoked because they failed to answer complaints filed by the board in a timely manner.

Brian G. Brown of Atlanta can no longer use the CFP mark after being charged by the CFP Board with recommending unsuitable alternative investments to his clients because of the high commissions paid on the investments. He also concentrated too much of his clients’ wealth in alternative investments.

The right of Jodi Lynn Hall of Brentwood, Mo., to use the CFP mark was permanently revoked after she was charged with taking money from her employer’s business bank account.

Nicolas S. Toadvine of Lakeland, Fla., cannot use the CFP mark for one year because the CFP Board says he sold clients unsuitable alternative investments.

Likewise, Marc H. Sussman of Framingham, Mass., cannot use the mark for one year because the CFP Board says he forged the signatures of at least 26 customers on account documents.
