Centaurus Broker Cindy Chiellini Allegedly Causes Investor Losses On Bad Real Estate Securities Transactions
Soreide Law Group is reviewing potential investor disputes against Centaurus Financial securities broker Cindy Porto Chiellini [CRD#: 1015592, Lexington, South Carolina]. Notably, Colorado Division of Securities filed an enforcement action against Chiellini for her allegedly unsuitable and dishonest sales practices. Also, a substantial amount of Chiellini’s clients filed investment disputes about her. Supposedly, Chiellini breached a fiduciary duty to her clients, selling unsuitable and misrepresented investments including corporate debt securities, CDs and real estate securities which did not align with the clients’ investor profiles and that caused them to experience losses.
