FINRA Investigation involving John Matson, LPL Financial 

According to a Letter of Acceptance Waiver and Consent, the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) has barred financial advisor John Nicholas Matson (CRD#: 1796541) from associating with any FINRA member at any time after he failed to provide information in its investigation.

This matter reportedly originated from an 80-year-old customer’s call to the FINRA Securities Helpline for Seniors on October 25, 2022, in which “the customer advised that Matson had recommended the customer invest in a promissory note and had thereafter ceased making promised interest payments on the note,” according to the letter. 

According to Matson’s FINRA BrokerCheck report, Matson has two customer complaints on his record. Allegations include churning and unsuitable investments, among others.  He was reportedly affiliated with the following firms during his career in the securities industry. 

11/02/2017 – 12/07/2022, LPL FINANCIAL LLC (CRD#:6413), MANHATTAN BEACH, CA,  

B, 06/22/2015 – 11/09/2017, AMERIPRISE FINANCIAL SERVICES, INC. (CRD#:6363), Los Angeles, CA 

B, 03/21/2007 – 07/07/2015, LPL FINANCIAL LLC (CRD#:6413), MANHATTAN BEACH, CA
