Soreide Law Group is looking into potential claims on behalf of investors who may have endured financial losses due to Christopher Booth Kennedy [CRD: 4498061, Woodland Hills, California]. Evidently, Kennedy worked for Western International Securities Inc. from December 2, 2019, to September 27, 2021. Investors can review the following disclosures about Kennedy’s conduct in the industry.
FINRA, on November 17, 2023, barred Christopher Kennedy as a securities broker following allegations of churning and excessive trading in client accounts. Supposedly, Kennedy's actions, characterized by excessive trading volumes and high turnover rates, caused financial harm on his clients. The trading activity in these accounts was notably high, leading to client losses. However, Kennedy reportedly made significant commissions.
Furthermore, Kennedy's conduct involved reportedly fabricating account statements to hide the true impact of his trading activities. Over a period, he supposedly issued falsified statements from his personal email, misstating account values.
A client of Western International Securities Inc. lodged a complaint against Christopher Kennedy, citing misrepresentation, breach of fiduciary duty, and unsuitability concerning the management of their account. The complaint involved investments in options and stocks and reported damages of $120,694. Western International Securities Inc. settled the matter by compensating the client $75,000 in June 2023.
Also, a client of Western International Securities Inc. filed a complaint against Christopher Kennedy, alleging unauthorized trading. The matter was settled by Western International Securities Inc., which compensated the client $375,000 in damages in June 2023.
Further, a client of Western International Securities Inc. accused Christopher Kennedy of unauthorized trading, leading to damages. The client brought FINRA Arbitration No. 22-02385 in October 2022. The case is currently pending resolution.
In addition, a Western International Securities Inc. investor filed a complaint against Christopher Kennedy, alleging breach of fiduciary duty and unauthorized trading related to options transactions. The client sought damages amounting to $245,000, and the firm settled by paying $125,000 in March 2022.
