The two brokers are reported to have engaged in short-term trading that resulted in significant losses for their clients
Two brokers who worked for Windsor Street Capital, LP (also doing business as Meyers Associates, L.P.) are facing serious allegations. According to the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA), Nas Adel Allan and Gregory Anastos are alleged to have made unsuitable investment recommendations to an elderly husband and wife, which resulted in the loss of substantial funds.
The complaint alleges that Allan and Anastos repeatedly recommended that their clients engage in short-term trading of a single security that their clients held for more than 35 years. Not only did this reportedly lead to a loss of money, but it generated almost $100,000 in commissions for the two brokers. FINRA states that “Allan’s recommendations were unsuitable in light of customers’ investment profile, lacked an economic rationale, and resulted in unwarranted losses and tax liabilities for them.”
