Investors apparently complained about securities broker Jorge Alberto Valdes [CRD: 2403666, Miami, Florida], according to publicly available information found on Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) BrokerCheck. Valdes worked for Voya Financial Advisors Inc. from July 6, 1995, to May 19, 2021, The Leaders Group Inc. from May 6, 2021, to May 13, 2021, and again since May 14, 2021, and Financial Designs Wealth Management from July 7, 2021, to August 2, 2023, and since August 14, 2023.

Notably, on June 13, 2025, a The Leaders Group Inc. client filed a complaint about Jorge Valdes. Mainly, the client alleged that Valdes made misrepresentations and committed forgery or gave a false attestation. For this reason, the investor allegedly sustained damages associated with life insurance products. As a result, the client requested $96,300 in compensation from The Leaders Group Inc. or Valdes.
Also, a client of ING Financial Partners Inc. disputed Jorge Valdes’s sales practices, according to a complaint dated February 4, 2008. Allegedly, Valdes made unsuitable recommendations. It appears that Valdes allegedly caused the client to suffer damages pertaining to variable annuities. Therefore, the client sought compensation from ING Financial Partners Inc. or Valdes in this matter. However, the firm denied this complaint.

Steven Graham (CRD 1977736) denies the allegations in a pending customer claim filed on August 11, 2026. The disclosure names Western International Securities as the firm, and the claim involves corporate bonds. No arbitrator has ruled on it. His BrokerCheck report also lists a settled bond dispute and a federal court matter from earlier years.
A claim filed on September 11, 2024 names Thomas Hamlin (CRD 2208505) over a 10% Senior Unsecured Note in iCap Fund III. Every disclosure on his BrokerCheck report involves an iCap private placement and names Somerset Securities as the firm. Each one settled, and a settlement is not an admission of wrongdoing.
