Michael Joseph Dimare Formerly With ING Financial Partners Pleads Guilty to Ponzi Scheme Fraud

According to First Coast News in Ponte Vedra, Florida, Michael Joseph Dimare pleaded guilty to mail fraud Monday for scamming about 22 people out of approximately $2 million. He worked as a registered representative of ING Financial Partners from October 2006 to May 2008. Based on the article, it appears that Mr. Dimare engaged in the ponzi scheme fraud while he was with ING Financial Partners and the firm he worked with before ING, Signator Investors, Inc. According to Mr. Dimare’s CRD report, a publicly available report that tracks customer complaints against financial advisors, it appears that only 11 customers have filed complaints thus far. One of the victims came forward in the article and stated that she received every penny of her money back from a financial firm. That firm is likely ING Financial Partners and/or Signator Investors, Inc.

Given that he pleaded guilty to defrauding 22 people, there are likely more victims who have not come forward yet.
