They additionally turned up handwritten notes detailing something called a “Beef Tongue Shut Up Hoodoo Spell,” a procedure calling for slitting open an animal tongue. The same day, the SEC filed a civil action against Bennett and her D.C.-based retail luxury sports apparel business, DJBennett. By 2014, Bennett was only managing $42 million in assets, according to the SEC, leaving her total commissions at less than $1.6 million. At least $10.3 million of the $20 million Bennett raised for the business went elsewhere, according to the government. The financial adviser also spent $11,400 on a website called Puja.net that “provides clients with ‘yagyas’, which can be described as Hindu ritual blessings or curses,” the affidavit said.
