Specifically, a client of Oppenheimer Co. Inc. contested David Dunn’s sales practices, according to a complaint dated January 15, 2025. Allegedly, Dunn engaged in unauthorized and unsuitable trading with regarding to stocks. Supposedly, the broker failed to supervise and committed financial elder abuse. It appears that Dunn allegedly caused the client to sustain damages. Therefore, the client sought damages from Oppenheimer Co. Inc. or Dunn in the amount of $8,800,000 in this matter.

Unauthorized trading refers to a situation in which a broker buys or sells securities in a client's account without the client's permission. Brokers must obtain prior consent before executing any trade unless the account has been designated as a discretionary account, which gives the broker specific written authority to make decisions on the client's behalf. When a broker conducts transactions without that authority or outside of the agreed-upon terms, it can expose clients to unexpected losses and constitutes a violation of industry rules. This type of misconduct can be particularly damaging to elderly or vulnerable investors who rely on their broker to act in their best interest.
