Former Wedbush Securities Connecticut Broker Fined and Suspended by FINRA for Unsuitable Recommendations to Client

Douglas Walter Campbell Jr. (CRD #2462754, New Canaan, Connecticut)

was fined $5,000 and it was deferred, and suspended by FINRA for 20 business days for allegedly engaging in unsuitable trading in a customer’s account by recommending purchases of speculative investments, which were not consistent with the customer’s investment objectives, resulting in an overconcentration in the customer’s account.

FINRA's findings stated that the concentrated position in the customer’s account was unsuitable in light of her financial profile, personal circumstances and limited ability to withstand financial losses. The customer’s account sustained losses of approximately $99,000.The suspension was in effect from October 6, 2014, through October 31, 2014. (FINRA Case #2012034600201)
