FINRA Rule 2111 – Suitability

Under FINRA Rule 2111, brokers are required to have a reasonable basis for believing that any recommendation they make is suitable for the customer based on that customer’s investment profile.
If Mr. Secord made unsuitable recommendations or failed to disclose material facts, these actions may constitute violations of this rule, particularly if they led to an account depletion as alleged.

FINRA Rule 2210 – Communications with the Public

FINRA Rule 2210 governs all communications that brokers make to clients and the general public.
If Mr. Secord or Wells Fargo failed to properly disclose or misrepresented key information regarding account performance or risks, this could be a violation of the communication standards set under this rule.

FINRA Rule 2010 – Standards of Commercial Honor and Principles of Trade

Under Rule 2010, brokers must observe high standards of commercial honor and just and equitable principles of trade.
Allegations of account misrepresentation or omission—especially those resulting in customer losses—may violate this rule, even if the conduct does not directly relate to a securities transaction.
