FINRA BrokerCheck shows a settled customer complaint with a damage request of $700,000.00 on March 13, 2024.
These are the factual allegations from the Customer’s Statement of Claim submitted to Arbitration: On June 25, 2021, Customer made a significant investment in a company called Alfi through his TOD account with the Firm. That day, Customer also had a lengthy discussion with Representative Carter and alleges that he decided not to purchase any additional Alfi stock in his IRA because Alfi stock was already up 40% that trading day. Representative Carter said that she would call Customer if anything changed with the price of the stock. Allegedly without authorization, Representative Carter purchased more than $700,000 worth of Alfi at $18.49 in Customer’s IRA. Representative Carter never called Customer regarding the purchase. Shortly after the purchase, Customer was in a significant motorcycle accident requiring months of recovery, and, it wasn’t until after Alfi collapsed that Customer allegedly learned of the purchase.
