JOHN DOUGLAS WADE (JOHN D WADE) CRD#: 4486552, of Buena Park, California , a former U.S. Bancorp Investments broker, was barred by the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority Inc. (FINRA) from acting as a broker or otherwise associating with a broker-dealer firm following allegations of converting more than $200,000 from clients' accounts for his own personal use.
Wade discharged by his firm in February for alleged "unsatisfactory job performance." The firm also filed an amended Form U5 on May 7, 2018, and said it was conducting an internal review because Mr. Wade "allegedly misappropriated client funds."
According to FINRA, Wade allegedly converted funds totaling $105,712.18 from his member firm's elderly clients without authorization to pay his own mortgage. FINRA’s findings stated that Wade electronically transferred without authorization $47,570.47 from one of the elderly clients' checking account (at a bank affiliated with the firm) to Wade's own mortgage account. Wade used funds from another elderly client to pay his own mortgage. Wade had this client withdraw funds from his firm account via third-party checks - in amounts totaling $51,141.71 - and write a check in the amount of $7,000 from his checking account (at a bank affiliated with the firm), to invest in REITs. However, Wade did not use those funds to invest in real estate investment trusts (REITs) for the client. Wade used those checks to pay his own mortgage.
