Specifically, on May 7, 2024, an American Trust Investment Services Inc. client filed FINRA Arbitration No. 24-01000 about Leavitt. Allegedly, Leavitt breached his fiduciary duty, failed to supervise, and was negligent. Because of this, the client allegedly incurred damages linked to TIC 1031 investments. So, the client requested $5,000,000.00 in compensation from American Trust Investment Services Inc. or Leavitt. Evidently, this arbitration is awaiting a resolution.
Additionally, a client of GMI Securities Inc. contested Gary Leavitt’s sales practices by filing NASD Arbitration No. 90-03439.

Consequently, NASD Arbitrators issued an Award dated July 17, 1991 compelling GMI Securities Inc. and Leavitt to compensate the client in the amount of $6,300.55.
