Investor Alert! FINRA reports alarming information in regard to securities broker David Wilson Fleming Jr. [CRD#: 1021968, White Plains, New York]. Notably, FINRA suspended Wilson twice.

David Fleming Liable For Client’s Unsuitable Investments In Walker Energy Inc. And Other Stocks

Apparently, a client of Fleming’s who held accounts at Deutsche Bank Securities , Sterne Agee Leach and Stifel Nicolaus filed FINRA Arbitration #: 17-01369.

Secondly, the securities broker seemingly falsified information about risks of investments and had concealed information from the client too. Thirdly, Fleming purportedly failed to comply with his fiduciary responsibility to the client. Fourthly, the securities broker allegedly acted negligently and violated FINRA rules. Consequently, on July 18, 2019, a FINRA Arbitration Panel ordered the broker to pay $728,000 in compensatory damages and $20,000 for unpaid loans.
