At LPL, I have full support along with my independence. This means that LPL workflows handle due diligence on new account applications. One due diligence question I have to ask is whether someone is a politically exposed person. PEPs have a heightened risk of potential involvement in bribery, corruption, money laundering, and illicit activities due to their position and influence. Nia was transferring her account from Wells Fargo so she wouldn't have to sell her positions and pay taxes on her gains. When we got to the PEP question, she mentioned, "Well, my dad's a king in Nigeria. So, I guess that makes me a princess." I checked the box yes, and entered her Princess title. A few minutes later, her account was opened, and her assets were moving over, no tax bill in sight. I'm a good referral for your client whose mother is a member of the Georgia House of Representatives. He wants to be able to retire one day. Ask him if he has political aspirations of his own.
