According to a news release on October 24, financial advisor Ramon A. Herrera has pleaded guilty to one count of wire fraud for allegedly misappropriating close to $500,000 from 40 Wells Fargo customers while he was purportedly employed there as a registered advisor.

Herrera purportedly convinced his customers,  many of whom were elderly and/or Spanish-speaking, to sign blank withdrawal slips, which Herrera then allegedly presented to bank tellers at the Wells Fargo bank branches, according to the article.

Herrera would allegedly withdraw the money from the customers’ accounts in the form of cashier’s checks and apply the checks against the various personal accounts that he and a family member purportedly maintained at the same financial institution, according to authorities.

According to his FINRA BrokerCheck report, Herrera was reportedly affiliated with Wells Fargo Clearing Services in Jersey City, NJ from 2012 until 2018. He reportedly has three customer complaints filed against him in the past year, including allegations that he “withdrew funds from client’s account without his permission.”
