✶ client transfer, babe

listen.
i know
those venmo payments
were on private.
i know
because
i was told about them.
more than one.
with vague-ass reasons.
you know,
something like
“client goals, babe,”
or
“she can actually
enroll them

so i’m getting
the
kickback, babe.”

let me spell that out
for whoever’s still trying to play dumb:

  • during the time this woman
    was assigned as my financial representative,

  • my then-husband—
    who was not yet licensed to manage clients—

  • was receiving
    direct payments from her

  • while i was
    pregnant,
    financially supporting
    his dumb ass,
    and under active legal duress.

cool?

now.
maybe i’m wrong.
maybe i
fucking hallucinated
that during
the same time
she was
fucking advising me,
and he was
being onboarded
under this magical
“family firm” dynamic,
there were ambiguous
payments sent
directly to him.

but i didn’t
imagine sending
screenshots
to the company.
i didn’t imagine
filing
multiple documented disclosures
notifying them
that the
violence
escalated
dramatically

as those two got closer
and the payments increased.
while i was actively
begging for support,

trying to survive,
and handling every policy myself.

and the company’s response?
“the rep will be back next week.”

✨✨

yo. lol
cool.
so no urgency
at all, right?

meanwhile,
i’m sending
memoed,
timestamped,
documented transactions

from the same
financial rep
who was placed
on my fucking account

with no disclosure
of her relationship

to the man
actively abusing me.

let me say that again.
she was my assigned rep.
he was my husband.
she was sending
money to him.

i was under
medical,
legal,
and financial strain.

and no one said a word.

i’ve now
submitted
ten + emails,
screenshots,
and legal warnings.

and no one
has denied
the relationship.
no one
has disclosed
the extent of it.
no one
has explained
how this happened,
or how this was compliant.

so just for the record:

i’ve said it privately.
i’ve said it in my disclosures.
i’m saying it now—

from my understanding,
there were
kickbacks happening
between my husband
and my financial advisor

during a time
when i was
both their client
and their target.

if that’s not a compliance issue,
then maybe your entire firm is.

feels like:

“when your husband’s
side chick
manages your finances”


or


“kickback season”?
