Soreide Law Group is reviewing possible investor lawsuits involving Mark William Just (CRD#: 1138738, Indianapolis, Indiana), who works for Triad Advisors as securities broker and for The Just Company as financial advisor. Specifically, the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”) issued Just sanctions in May 2021. Those sanctions include a suspension of the broker from June 2021 to September 2021, and a $5,000 fine. Moreover, it appears that 8 investors disputed Just’s trading actions. Here’s more on these disclosures.
It appears that on June 21, 2021, Mark Just was placed by FINRA on a suspension as securities broker. Just opted to serve a suspension and pay a $5,000 fine to resolve allegations against him of failing to disclose state tax liens. Just’s suspension expires September 20, 2021.
Notably, a Triad Advisors client in March 2021 filed a FINRA Arbitration Claim and this dispute concerns Mark Just and Triad Advisors. Specifically, the client alleged that Just recommended unsuitable alternative investments. It seems that Just caused the client to incur a loss by buying into a real estate security. Because of this, the client asked for $100,000 in compensation from Triad Advisors. This matter is pending a resolution.
The client brought the lawsuit in February 2021 to express dissatisfaction with Mark Just’s recommendations of alternative investments. Generally, alternative investments are only suitable for certain types of investors. Allegedly, the client expressed that these investments failed to be suitable for them. Accordingly, this client asked for $250,000 in damages from the securities firm. Evidently, this matter is ongoing.
Apparently, a client of Triad Advisors disputed Mark Just’s sales practices in an August 2020 FINRA Arbitration Claim. Specifically, the client claimed that it was not suitable for Just to have the client invest in alternative securities including real estate securities. It seems that Just caused the client to incur losses because of acting on his advice. In fact, the client seeks $150,000 in damages. This matter is currently ongoing.
BrokerCheck also shows that a client of Triad Advisors took issue with Mark Just in January 2020 over variable annuity and real estate security investments. Supposedly, the client experienced losses from doing what Just advised. $100,000 in damages are alleged in this pending lawsuit.
Notably, in a June 2018 dispute, a client claimed that Mark Just caused them to have bad investment performance from 2011 to 2017. Particularly, Just is accused of making unsuitable recommendations to the client. Investments which allegedly underperformed included mutual funds, variable annuities, corporate bonds, or stocks. Because of this, the client demanded $997,269 in damages. This matter is unresolved at the current time.
Just denies allegations of sales practice violations which Triad Advisors clients make. Have you experienced investment losses by interacting with this broker?
