Albany, New York Attorney Who Sues For Failure to Supervise Stockbroker

Did C.L. King & Associates Cause You Investment Losses? C.L. King & Associates, Inc. (CL King) of Albany, New York was named as a Respondent in a Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) complaint that alleges the firm failed to establish and maintain proper supervisory procedures regarding death-put investments. FINRA alleges that two CL King representatives recruited terminally ill individuals offering between $10,000 and $15,000 in exchange for their agreement to open brokerage accounts. FINRA alleged, once the accounts were opened, the CL King customers used joint accounts to purchase discounted corporate bonds, notes, and market-linked CDs (MLCDs) containing a survivor’s option or “death put,” which allowed the customers to redeem the investments for the full principle amount prior to maturity upon the death of a beneficial owner. FINRA’s investigators alleged that upon the death of his customers, acting members of CL King redeemed approximately $60 million in Death Put Investments generating $1.2 million in margin interest and trading profits. This alleged conduct is in violation of NASD Conduct Rule 3010 and FINRA Rules 3110 and 2010. Without admitting or denying the FINRA findings, C.L. King & Associates agreed to disgorge all ill-gotten gains. Do You Need An Attorney Who Sues For Failure to Supervise Stockbroker?

Newport News, Virginia Securities Lawyer For Mutual Fund Investment Disputes

Did Steve Heath Cause You Investment Losses? Steve Dale Heath of Newport News, Virginia, submitted a Letter of Acceptance, Waiver and Consent (AWC) to the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) for allegedly executing unsuitable mutual fund trades, including switches, in the account of an elderly customer with conservative investment goals, causing approximately $7,207 in losses for the customer. FINRA alleged that Steve Heath recommended and effected short-term mutual fund trades in the elderly customer’s account. Mutual funds are intended as long-term investments but Mr. Heath recommended selling after only 249 days on average. Further, some of the trades involved mutual fund switches, which were unsuitable in light of the customer’s conservative investment objectives. Mutual fund “switching” is the process of transferring an investment from one mutual fund to another, for significant reasons or to defraud clients. Some brokers attempt numerous switches in client accounts in order to generate commissions. FINRA’s findings stated that this pattern of unsuitable mutual fund switches violated NASD Rule 2310 and FINRA Rules 2010 and 2011. Mr. Heath consented to FINRA’s findings, without admitting or denying the allegations, was suspended from association with any FINRA member for a period of two months, fined $5,000 and ordered to pay restitution to the elderly customer in the amount of $7,207, plus interest.
