Western International Lawsuit Alleges Fraudulent Loans and Failure to Supervise
The White Law Group announces today the filing of a FINRA Arbitration claim submitted on behalf of a Wisconsin resident, against Western International Securities alleging violation of common law fraud, breach of fiduciary duty, negligence, and negligent supervision.
The claim alleges that a Western International Securities advisor fraudulently loaned out $262,000 of Claimant’s retirement assets in three unsecured notes for the broker’s personal benefit.
The FINRA claim seeks damages in an amount greater than $262,000.
It is further alleged that the broker of record is Tony Liddle of Prosper Wealth Management. Liddle is currently serving an eight-year prison sentence for defrauding advisory clients and has been barred from the securities industry.
Failure to Supervise
According to D. Daxton White, managing partner of The White Law Group, “It is possible that many more investors have suffered devastating losses due to Western International’s failure to supervise and don’t realize they have recovery options.”
Brokerage firms must supervise their brokers to ensure they comply with FINRA rules. If a financial advisor violated FINRA rules and the employers failed to adequately supervise him, these firms can be held responsible for any resulting losses in a FINRA arbitration claim.
