Ernesto Chavez (CRD: 4315877) faces a new pending claim on BrokerCheck over an investment made in 2018. The customer alleges $180,000 in damages, and no arbitrator has ruled on the claim.
Soreide Law Group is actively investigating potential claims on behalf of investors who may have sustained losses because of securities broker Dorinda Lynn Lumpkin (also known as Dorinda Lynn Bludsworth) (CRD: 5687234, Gadsden, Alabama). Specifically, Lumpkin worked for BBVA Securities Inc. from October 10, 2013, to July 6, 2020. Notably, the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) issued her a bar from associating with any FINRA member. Additionally, BBVA Securities Inc. terminated their association with Lumpkin on June 18, 2020, due to alleged unauthorized withdrawals from a client's bank account.
Evidently, on January 4, 2021, the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) issued Case: 2020067150401. Specifically, the regulator reports that her suspension started on October 26, 2020, and ended on January 3, 2021. The regulator barred her on January 4, 2021. FINRA alleged that Lumpkin failed to respond to their request for information. Moreover, the regulator revealed that Lumpkin did not request termination of her initial suspension within three months, leading to the permanent bar.
Additionally, BBVA Securities Inc. disaffiliated with Lumpkin on June 18, 2020. Namely, the firm alleged that Lumpkin, while serving as an employee of BBVA's affiliate bank, violated bank procedures by withdrawing funds from a bank client's account without the client's knowledge or consent. This action led to her termination.
