HANCOCK, JOHN MARK BPR # 009476
June 15, 1994
Suspended by order entered June 15, 1994, retroactive to May 21, 1992, the date his license was
placed on temporary suspension, until January 1, 1996. In his representation of an estate, he
induced the heirs to allow him to make an investment of estate funds and used said estate funds
to purchase a majority interest in a brokerage company that he later became Chief Executive
Officer of. He also used $50,000 to make a loan to a business partner. As a result of the loan, he
was furnished a luxury automobile. He failed to close the estate even upon the request of the
heirs, and the heirs did not receive their money back until after formal charges were filed. He
was cited by the Securities and Exchange Commission for improper conduct and was barred
from engaging in the securities business as a broker and dealer. Criminal charges were brought
against him by the State and he was placed on pre-trial diversion.
