Evidently, a Lombard Securities customer filed a FINRA Arbitration #18-03870 on November 9, 2018. Primarily, the customer alleged Eric Zakarin churned the customer’s account. Supposedly, Zakarin made trades of corporate debt, government debt, stock and mutual fund products without considering the customer’s interests. Secondly, the customer claimed that investments were not suitable. Thirdly, Zakarin or Lombard Securities allegedly engaged in fraudulent investment transactions in the customer’s account. Fourthly, the customer claimed that Zakarin violated his fiduciary responsibility to the customer. Furthermore, Lombard Securities allegedly failed to supervise Zakarin’s trading and management of the customer’s brokerage account. Because of this, the customer demanded compensatory relief. Although the customer’s claims may hold true, this matter is unresolved.
