The Spring Lake broker has been involved in numerous customer disputes and could receive sanctions from both FINRA and the SEC

Richard Grant Cody has been a broker for 18 years, during which time 16 customer disputes have been levied against him. As a result of the most recent claims, he is also currently being investigated by the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) and the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).

The numerous charges against Cody include misrepresentation, unauthorized trading, and even theft. But one of the most egregious allegations concerns some of his former retired clients. In late 2016, the SEC filed a complaint against Cody in a Boston federal court alleging that he defrauded at least three clients over several years.

Former Broker Winston Turner’s Career is Over Barely after it Begun on silverlaw.com

The former Sarasota, FL broker has been permanently barred by FINRA for falsifying information, among other charges

After only about four years in the securities industry, Winston Turner has been barred permanently by the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA). In February of 2016, FINRA made the decision based on evidence showing Turner falsified information in regard to variable annuity transactions.

FINRA found that, in addition to circumventing his firm’s supervisory review process to misrepresent the sources of funds, Turner submitted documents with forged customer signatures. He is also reported to have failed to disclose outside business activity. The final nail in the coffin came when Turner reportedly refused to offer information to FINRA and didn’t appear for scheduled testimony.
