FINRA Reportedly Bars Broker Bradley Goodbred in connection with Alleged Outside Business Activities

According to public records, the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) has barred financial advisor Bradley Goodbred (CRD # 3184210) from the securities industry this week. Goodbred reportedly refused to provide testimony in FINRA’s investigation regarding his alleged dismissal from his member firm, LPL Financial. 

Bradley Goodbred’s broker report indicates that he was registered with LPL Financial in Roselle, IL from 2009 until January 2021 when he was discharged for allegations that he “utilized undisclosed power of attorney to request and facilitate distributions of funds from customer’s outside advisory accounts, deposit customer funds into customer’s bank account, and then had customer provide representative with personal checks totaling $430,000 made payable to a real estate company representative owned and operated as an outside business activity.”

According to his broker profile, Goodbred’s outside business activities include Northern Lights Properties, LLC, Midwest Plan Advisors, and Midwest Wealth Management.
