Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) BrokerCheck reveals disclosures regarding securities broker Louis Peter Goff [CRD: 4882759, Salt Lake City, Utah]. Goff worked for Wells Fargo Clearing Services LLC from September 12, 2011, to October 25, 2023. Keep reading to learn more about the allegations that have led to regulatory actions about Goff.

SEC Bars Goff

Evidently, on March 4, 2024, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) initiated formal proceedings about Louis Peter Goff. In a prior case, Goff agreed to a settlement after being accused of misleading investors about a foreign currency trading program called Edger. Mainly, the SEC found that, from 2019 onward, Goff provided false information. Evidently, this concerned investors' account values, profitability, and his experience managing funds. Also, he reportedly failed to disclose that investor money was being controlled by a convicted felon. As a result, Goff has been permanently barred from associating with brokers, dealers, investment advisers, or any role related to securities.

FINRA Sanctions Louis Goff for Failing to Cooperate

Notably, FINRA initiated its own investigation into Goff’s conduct. Eventually, on December 20, 2023, Goff was barred as a securities broker after he refused to cooperate with the regulator’s requests for documents and information regarding the allegations. Evidently, FINRA determined that Goff violated FINRA Rules 2010 and 8210 by not complying with the investigation (Case 2023080053501).
