Oppenheimer Client Files Arbitration Claim Alleging Negligence in Private Securities

On April 26, 2024, a client of Oppenheimer & Co. Inc. initiated a FINRA arbitration, alleging they suffered losses in a private placement investment. The allegations include negligence, breach of fiduciary duty, breach of contract, and violations of state securities laws. The disputed investment activities occurred between July 2018 and March 2024.

The damages requested amount to $500,000. This matter is currently pending under FINRA Arbitration No. 24-00833. Jacobs denies all allegations of wrongdoing and has stated his intent to vigorously defend himself and Oppenheimer & Co. Inc. against what he describes as false and unsubstantiated claims.

Oppenheimer Client Settles Arbitration Claim Alleging Unsuitable Recommendations

On June 14, 2023, a client filed a complaint alleging losses due to unsuitable investments and raised claims of breach of fiduciary duty, unauthorized trading, failure to act in the client’s best interest, negligence, state securities law violations, and breach of contract. The disputed activity took place from 2020 to the present and involved options trading.

This matter was settled on September 9, 2024, with Oppenheimer & Co. Inc. compensating the client $53,000. Jacobs continues to deny the allegations, stating that the settlement was reached solely to avoid the costs and risks of arbitration. According to Jacobs, the settlement amount and his contribution were unilaterally determined by the firm. The client remains associated with Oppenheimer & Co. Inc.
