Family Broker Fraud

Soreide Law Group is investigating possible investor claims against securities broker Dave McDonnell (also known as David Robert McDonnell) [CRD: 1757401, Laguna Beach, CA]. Notably, FINRA sanctioned the securities broker, who worked for TCFG Wealth Management LLC. Allegedly, McDonnell failed to provide information and documents to FINRA when it investigated potential FINRA rule infractions. Here is a brief summary of FINRA’s allegations against Dave McDonnell.

FINRA Sanctions McDonnell For Failure To Provide Information

Evidently, on March 22, 2022, FINRA issued Case: 2022073798801 sanctioning Dave McDonnell for infractions. Specifically, McDonnell was barred, so he cannot work as a broker and in other capacities for FINRA-member firms. Supposedly, McDonnell failed to provide information and documents to FINRA when it investigated potential FINRA rule infractions.
