Pomfret Plantation -- a Long Story

Between October 2004 and November 2005, Pomfret Plantation issued eleven promissory notes for a total of $1,000,000. 

On May 22, 2006, Pomfret Plantation filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy.

Kathy Gordon was Vice President of Respondent Medallion Invesestment Services, Inc. from January 25, 1999 until October 31, 2008. She was licensed as a securities principal, and she was also a shareholder, President and Chairman of the Board of Directors of Medallion’s holding company. Kathy Gordon introduced four of her brokerage and investment advisory clients to Pomfret Plantation for the purpose of the clients’ purchasing nine promissory notes for a total investment of $800,000.
