Investors apparently complained about securities broker Debra Dawn Mesle (also known as Debra Dawn Hanebrink and Debbie Mesle) [CRD: 849766, Chesterfield, Missouri], based on public information on Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) BrokerCheck. Mesle worked for Merrill Lynch from June 30, 2006, to January 2, 2026, and has worked for Huntleigh Securities Corporation and Huntleigh Advisors Inc. since December 5, 2025. Read on to learn more about Mesle’s disclosures.
Evidently, a client filed a complaint about Debra Mesle. Primarily, the client alleged that Mesle failed to follow instructions concerning the investment of funds in the client’s account in September 2025. For this reason, the client allegedly sustained damages associated with structured products. This matter was closed on October 8, 2025 by Merrill Lynch.
Particularly, Merrill Lynch disaffiliated with Mesle on December 5, 2025. Allegedly, Mesle engaged in discretionary trading in client accounts. Discretionary trading is an arrangement where a broker or advisor buys and sells securities for a client's account without asking for the client's permission before each individual transaction.

Steven Graham (CRD 1977736) denies the allegations in a pending customer claim filed on August 11, 2026. The disclosure names Western International Securities as the firm, and the claim involves corporate bonds. No arbitrator has ruled on it. His BrokerCheck report also lists a settled bond dispute and a federal court matter from earlier years.
A claim filed on September 11, 2024 names Thomas Hamlin (CRD 2208505) over a 10% Senior Unsecured Note in iCap Fund III. Every disclosure on his BrokerCheck report involves an iCap private placement and names Somerset Securities as the firm. Each one settled, and a settlement is not an admission of wrongdoing.
Peter Po's most recent settlement came on June 28, 2026, when a corporate bond claim settled for $40,000. Po (CRD 3106974) appears in several settled customer disputes over corporate and high-yield bonds. The disclosures name NI Advisors or California Securities as the firm, and each matter ended in a settlement, not a finding.
