Have you suffered investment losses as a result of your dealings with Michael Perlmuter and Cedar Brook Financial Partners? If so, White Law Group may be able to recover some of your investment losses through a FINRA arbitration claim.
According to Cleveland.com, one of the principals of Cedar Brook Financial Partners, a wealth management firm in Ohio, was suspended and fined by the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA). Former Securities America financial advisor, Michael Perlmuter, received a eight-month suspension and $40,000 fine.
FINRA alleged that Perlmuter and his colleagues made false and misleading statements about IMH Fund and Medical Capital Holdings. MedCap was shut down for fraud by the SEC in 2009. In addition, FINRA alleged Perlmuter altered three customer accounts by falsifying the customers net worth. As a result the customers’ portfolio in high-risks fund appeared to fall within limits set by Cedar Brook, when in fact the portfolio was over concentrated.
In addition, Cleveland.com reports that FINRA accused Perlmuter of sending emails to customers that contained “material misrepresentations” regarding the liquidity of IMH Fund and Medcap.
Brokerage firms have a responsibility to monitor the business actives of their registered representatives. When brokers, like Perlmuter, operate a business outside of the firm and violate securities laws or FINRA’s regulations, the firm may be liable for negligent supervision and responsible for investment losses.
According to BrokerCheck, Perlmuter worked in Ohio with Securities America from 09/2005 to 05/2011.
