Ernesto Chavez (CRD: 4315877) faces a new pending claim on BrokerCheck over an investment made in 2018. The customer alleges $180,000 in damages, and no arbitrator has ruled on the claim.
It was reported on FINRA's BrokerCheck that in October of 2012, Clyde Marshall Thornburg, CRD# 1065161, was permanently barred from association with any FINRA member in any capacity by FINRA. Thornburg allegedly traded UITs (Unit Investment Trusts), corporate debt obligations, and mutual funds in his customers’ accounts. FINRA found that Thornburg executed trades that were unsuitable for his clients because of the trade size, frequency, the customer’s investment objectives, circumstances, and financial situations. Thornburg allegedly generated $300,000 in commissions for his firm, a large portion of which he received. FINRA also alleged that Thornburg forged or had others forge the names and/or signatures of customers on forms, and provided false information involving customer risk tolerance and investment objectives.
