Investors potentially experienced sales practice violations by securities broker Chad Kristopher Mehle [CRD: 7008517, Irvine, California], according to publicly available information found on Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) BrokerCheck. Mehle worked for J.P. Morgan Securities LLC from September 20, 2023, to March 25, 2026, and previously worked for Merrill Lynch from July 5, 2022, to September 11, 2023. See below to learn more about disclosures involving Chad Mehle.
Evidently, on March 12, 2026, JPMorgan Chase Bank disaffiliated with Mehle. Mainly, JPMorgan Chase Bank alleged that Mehle violated firm policy by facilitating an unapproved real estate investment involving a client. Mehle disputed the allegations and stated that the conduct occurred before his employment with the firm and in his personal capacity, and he further indicated that the firm’s investigation did not identify findings of client harm or misconduct.
Also, a client of Morgan Stanley disputed Chad Mehle’s sales practices by filing FINRA Arbitration No. 24-01837 on August 26, 2024. Allegedly, Mehle made unsuitable recommendations involving an investment strategy connected to an account used as collateral for a securities-based loan. It appears that Mehle allegedly caused the client to incur damages. As a result, the client seeks compensation from Morgan Stanley or Mehle in this ongoing matter.

A claim filed on September 11, 2024 names Thomas Hamlin (CRD 2208505) over a 10% Senior Unsecured Note in iCap Fund III.
