Georgia Securities Attorney Who Sues Stockbrokers For Their Negligence

Did Geoffrey Colin Turner Cause You Investment Losses? 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.

Gary Saitowitz of Marietta, Georgia submitted a Letter of Acceptance, Waiver and Consent (AWC) to the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) for several alleged violations in connection with the sale of non-traded real estate investment trusts (REITs). Formerly registered with Transamerica Financial Advisors Inc. (Transmerica), Mr. Saitowitz allegedly recommended four customers to invest an unsuitable amount of their assets in REITs. The FINRA investigation found that Mr. Saitowitz’s recommendations were unsuitable in light of his customers’ investment goals and risk tolerances. Without admitting or denying the FINRA findings, Mr. Saitowitz was assessed a deferred fine of $10,000, suspended from association with any FINRA member for 12 months and ordered to pay $11,455 in restitution to the customer. Georgia has thousands 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 Georgia securities laws and Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) rules and stock brokerage firms policies and procedures.

Georgia Stockbroker Fraud Attorney

The Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) sanctioned Kenneth Andrew Mauchin, a former broker at Atlanta, Georgia based SunTrust Investment Services, Inc., based on findings that Mr. Mauchin withdrew $23,750 from customer accounts and used the funds to buy cashier’s checks that he deposited into an account that he controlled. Mr. Mauchin falsely listed his work address as the mailing address for customer accounts, which prevented the customers from discovering Mr. Mauchin’s misappropriation of funds. FINRA found that as a result, Mr. Mauchin caused his firm to have false books and records. FINRA’s findings also stated that Mr. Mauchin did not appear for a FINRA on-the-record testimony. FINRA’s Enforcement Department did not seek restitution because the member firm reimbursed the customers. Mr. Mauchin of Sanford, Florida was prohibited from association with any FINRA member in any capacity. Georgia has thousands of stock brokerage firms and investment advisory offices.

Georgia Securities Arbitration Attorneys Who Represents Investors

Jeremy Gerald Tintle, a former broker in Atlanta, Georgia and previously employed at Memphis, Tennessee-based Morgan Keegan & Company, Inc. and New York, New York-based Oppenheimer & Co., Inc., was named a respondent in a Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) complaint claiming that he participated in a private securities transaction outside the scope of his association with his firm. He allegedly did not provide the firm with prior written notice of the proposed transaction, his proposed role in it, or the selling compensation he might obtain from the transaction. FINRA found that the firm never approved the limited partnership for sale through the firm. Mr. Tintle submitted the firm’s annual compliance questionnaire wherein he falsely represented that he did not participate in private securities transactions away from the firm without the firm’s prior approval. FINRA also found that Mr. Tintle recommended an investment in the entity to a customer without researching that the recommendation was suitable, as its speculative and illiquid nature was inconsistent with the customer’s other security holdings, financial situation, and needs. The customer invested $1 million in the entity, which included more than 70 percent of her liquid net worth, resulting in an unsuitable concentration of the customer’s liquid assets. The customer’s unsuitable, concentrated position in the entity exposed her to a loss of approximately $153,396 on her investment in the entity. Further, FINRA found that at various times and while with separate member firms, Mr. Tintle misused and converted customers’ funds by inducing the customers to withdraw and wire funds from their brokerage accounts to third-parties. The funds were not applied to the purchase of securities as the customers had instructed but were retained by the transferees.
