(also known as David A. Noyes) in Indianapolis, IN, and Lake Forest, IL, from June 27, 2017, to September 30, 2020.

James Allen Disclosed Overconcentration Allegations By Citigroup Global Markets, Inc. Client
Also, a client of Citigroup Global Markets, Inc. contested James Allen's sales practices, according to a complaint.
