FINRA Bars Broker Kevin Meadows after Allegations of Unsuitable & Excessive Trades
According to the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) on May 28, 2021, the regulator has barred financial advisor Kevin Kimball Meadows (CRD #2878889) after he allegedly failed to provide testimony in FINRA’s investigation into an alleged customer complaint.
Meadows was reportedly suspended for three months in January 2020 after he allegedly excessively and unsuitably traded a senior customer’s accounts that purportedly resulted in a loss of approximately $39,671. FINRA’s findings stated that Meadows purportedly controlled the trading in these accounts by recommending almost all of the trades. Meadows’ alleged trading in the customer’s accounts was reportedly excessive and unsuitable given the customer’s financial circumstances and investment objectives.
According to his FINRA broker record, Meadows reportedly has a history of disciplinary actions, including 5 customer complaints, 3 judgment/liens, 2 regulatory actions and 1 employment separation.
Meadows was reportedly affiliated with the following firms, among others:
