Clients File Investment Disputes About Broker Joel Lansat

The investment loss recovery team at Soreide Law Group provides you with this Investor Alert concerning securities broker Joel Lansat (CRD#: 1623241, Palm Beach Gardens, Florida). FINRA BrokerCheck, which houses information about securities brokers, indicates that three investors challenged Lansat’s sales practices. Let’s take a look at these investor disputes.

Merrill Lynch Client Indicates That Joel Lansat Made Unauthorized Trades

Evidently, a client of Merrill Lynch brought a dispute about Joel Lansat in April 2020. Namely, the client alleged that Lansat made unauthorized trades in a managed account from February 2020 to March 2020. It seems that the client sustained losses on investments because of the broker. However, Merrill Lynch denied this complaint following an investigation.

Lansat Targeted In Complaint About Variable Annuity Inaccuracies

Also, a Merrill Lynch client disputed Joel Lansat’s actions in a December 2017 dispute. It appears that the client purchased a variable annuity in which there were inaccuracies in the annuity documents. Supposedly, this January 2016 annuity purchase was inappropriate. However, Merrill Lynch denied the complaint.

Citigroup Client Indicates That Joel Lansat Made Bad Recommendations

Also, in 2006, a client of Citigroup took aim at Joel Lansat regarding unit investment trusts and municipal bonds transactions. It appears that the broker advised the client to purchase these investments when they were not compatible with the client’s investment objectives. In addition, the client alleged that Lansat made unauthorized transactions. For this reason, Citigroup settled this matter through making a $24,900 payment to the client.
