First of all, the clients suggested that Dana Vietor gave them bad advice about variable annuities and private placements. Secondly, Vietor allegedly misrepresented the investments. Supposedly, Vietor omitted information which was critical for the clients to know in making an informed decision. Allegedly, Vietor also acted irresponsibly in making the clients’ investments, and breached his fiduciary responsibility to the clients. Because of this, the clients alleged $300,000 in this ongoing matter.
Evidently, in a complaint dated November 20, 2018, clients took issue with Dana Vietor’s investment transactions. Allegedly, the clients claim that Vietor improperly sold private placements and promissory notes.

Not only that, but the clients argued that Vietor failed to let them know about important information before he sold the securities. Furthermore, the clients suggest that Vietor made these transactions without the firm’s authorization. However, on December 11, 2018, this matter closed without resolution.
Cape Securities Client Files FINRA Arbitration Suggesting Vietor Sold Bad Non-Traded REITs
