Securities Arbitration Lawyers BlogJeffrey Hawley and Wells Fargo
A current client dispute relating to Jeffrey Hawley (CRD #1131302) has been filed against Wells Fargo. Hawley is a registered broker currently with Wells Fargo Clearing Services, LLC (CRD #19616). Hawley is also a registered investment advisor with the same company.
The customer dispute centers on Puerto Rican bonds, which were popular to sell to investors for their high returns. When the island declared bankruptcy in May of 2017, many investors accounts decreased dramatically.
The client alleges that Hawley recommended purchasing these bonds in 2012, and to “thereafter hold the bonds.” The case is currently listed as pending.
