A jury ruled against broker, DONALD J. FOWLER (CRD#: 4989632), and in favor of the SEC recently in a Manhattan federal court. Fowler was charged two years ago with excessive trading, while registered with the J.D. Nicholas & Associates of Syosset, N.Y.
Allegedly, DONALD J. FOWLER engaged in an excessive trading scheme which was unsuitable for his clients for the purpose of generating commissions, according to the SEC. The SEC also alleged that Fowler failed to do due diligence to determine whether the trading would be profitable for the client. The alleged commissions Fowler charged would have required returns of 142% for his clients to break even, according to the SEC’s press release.
The SEC reported that the jury found DONALD J. FOWLER liable on all counts. The counts included violating federal anti-fraud provisions.
