Did you invest in First Liberty Building & Loan with Timothy Nathaniel Darnell, also known as Nathaniel Darnell, of Bankers Life Securities? The law firm of Israels & Neuman is looking into allegations involving this advisor, who formerly was a representative with Bankers Life Securities and worked in an Atlanta, Georgia office.  Darnell was fired in September 2025 by both Bankers Life Securities and Bankers Life Advisory Services.  He primarily goes by his middle name, Nathaniel.

Allegations Regarding Nathaniel Darnell

Participation in undisclosed and unapproved private securities transactions (PST), 3. Use of off-channel communications with clients and not following firm policies and procedures related to such.”  Under FINRA Rule 3280, financial advisors must get prior approval from their firm to sell any investment.

This termination was likely triggered by a customer complaint that was made in September 2025.  The customer alleged losses of $1,000,000 from investments in First Liberty Building & Loan.  The customer alleged that First Liberty Building & Loan was a PONZI Scheme run by Edwin Brant Frost IV.
