Trinity Florida Attorney Who Sues Stockbrokers Who Made Unsuitable Investment Recommendations

Michael DeBoer of Trinity Florida submitted an AWC to FINRA for allegedly not disclosing his participation in a transaction that recommended customers make an unsuitable securities transaction. In June 2010, while registered with Dalton Strategic, Mr. DeBoer recommended that two customers invest a total of $200,000 in securities offered by a software development company. Mr. DeBoer received $32,000 in commissions for the securities transaction. The investors ultimately lost the entirety of their investments in the securities. FINRA alleged Mr. DeBoer did not disclose his participation in the transactions to his associated firm. FINRA further alleged that before making his recommendation, Mr. DeBoer also failed to reasonably investigate the software company or its securities and therefore lacked a reasonable basis to believe the securities were suitable investments for his clients. Mr. DeBoer received more than $70,000 in payments from the futures trading entity in return for his referral of approximately 28 people who collectively invested more than $1.8 million. FINRA found that most or all of the people DeBoer referred to the futures trading entity lost a substantial amount of the money they invested. Without admitting or denying the FINRA allegations, Mr. DeBoer agreed to the FINRA sanctions and was barred from association with any FINRA member in any capacity. Trinity Florida has a number of stock brokerage firms and investment advisory offices. With so many stock brokerage firms and investment advisory offices, comes the potential for their stockbrokers, financial advisors, and other representatives to recommend unsuitable securities investments in light of the customers stated investment objectives, risk tolerance, financial condition, time horizon and other important factors and to engage in many other kinds of stockbroker fraud and stockbroker misconduct which violates Federal and Florida securities laws and Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) rules and stock brokerage firms policies and procedures.

Georgia Securities Attorney Who Sues Stockbrokers For Their Negligence

Geoffrey Colin Turner of Tybee Island, Georgia, submitted a Letter of Acceptance, Waiver and Consent (AWC) to the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) in which he received a fine and suspension for recommending certain L-share variable annuities. Mr. Turner joined BB&T as a General Securities Principal in October 2006. During the relevant time period, Mr. Turner allegedly made recommendations of certain L-share variable annuities to 15 customers without sufficient knowledge that these recommendations were suitable. FINRA found that Mr. Turner made recommendations to his customers to purchase higher-cost share class contracts without understanding the costs and benefits. According to FINRA, Mr. Turner did not understand that the L-share class would be more expensive than the B-share class for customers who held their annuities for at least seven years. FINRA’s findings also stated that due to Mr. Turner’s lack of understanding the L-share class annuities, he was unable to educate his customers about the various features of the products. Mr. Turner, without admitting or denying FINRA’s findings, was fined $7,500, suspended for 30 days and required to attend and satisfactorily complete eight hours of continuing education relating to the sale of variable annuities and the factors for consideration in determining when such products are suitable.
