New Jersey Broker Richard Grant Cody May Be Facing Serious Penalties
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.
