Orland Park Investment Adviser Pleads Guilty to Wire Fraud

From the Desk of Jim Eccleston at Eccleston Law LLC:

Orland Park investment adviser, Daniel H. Glick, has pleaded guilty to one count of wire fraud for allegedly stealing more than $5 million from clients, including his elderly in-laws.

According to the plea agreement, Mr. Glick, through his three businesses, Financial Management Strategies, Inc., Glick Accounting Services, Inc., and Glick & Associates Ltd. represented to his clients that he would invest their money in safe investments. However, instead of investing his clients’ money, Mr. Glick used their funds to purchase luxury items and to pay off his mortgage.

Mr. Glick concealed the fraud by continuing to pay the bills and expenses on behalf of certain clients by using his other clients’ funds in a Ponzi-style scheme. Moreover, Mr. Glick also misappropriated at least several million dollars of funds from clients by providing financial institutions, such as Citizens Financial Bank and U.S. Bank National Association, with forged checks and other documents.

Eccleston Law is investigating this Ponzi scheme. Those with information should contact our law firm.
