The Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) contains important disclosures in regard to securities broker Donald Angelo Durando (CRD#: 5509340, Hauppauge, New York). Namely, Durando, who worked for securities firms John Thomas Financial and PHX Financial Inc. (2014 to present), is involved in investor disputes. Here’s a closer look at the allegations raised by clients in these disputes. However, keep in mind that Durando and his securities firm employers deny allegations made by those investors.
Evidently, a client of PHX Financial disputed Donald Durando’s sales practices, according to a FINRA Arbitration Claim from March 2020. In particular, the client alleges that the securities firm or broker sold unsuitable investments. Supposedly, Durando caused the client to incur damages on over-the-counter equities and options. For this reason, PHX Financial acquiesced to resolving this matter, with no admission of liability, by paying the client $230,000 in damages in December 2021. BrokerCheck shows that Durando denies the allegations and is seeking expungement of this matter.
Evidently, a client of John Thomas Financial contested Donald Durando’s sales practices, per a FINRA Arbitration Claim. Specifically, the investor alleges unsuitable recommendations. It appears that the client received a $7,500 payment to resolve this matter. Durando denies the client’s allegations.
