We are investigating allegations made against Diane Maddox of Derry and Salem, New Hampshire, who was recently the subject of a complaint made by the New Hampshire Securities Bureau.  New Hampshire alleged that Maddox recommended that a couple purchase an investment in an “alternative investment” in 2013, and that she failed to update a suitability form to properly effect the transaction.  The complaint also references United Development Funding IV (UDF) as part of the settlement.  Maddox was ordered to pay a settlement to the couple, along with $10,000 in investigation costs.
