Michael Anthony Lipscomb Accused of Breach of Fiduciary Duty

Lipscomb has disclosed five extra customer disputes on FINRA BrokerCheck regarding assertions of his sales practice violations, including unauthorized trading, excessive trading, and unsuitability. For example:
1)      On January 18, 2011, a customer of Wunderlich Securities and Capital Securities of America, Inc. brought an arbitration alleging inappropriate sales practices; that the customer’s account was neglected; and that mutual fund trades entered in the customer’s account lacked the customer’s authorization. On February 17, 2012, the customer’s claim was settled for $42,000.00. (FINRA Arbitration Case #10-05650).
2)      On September 10, 2012, a Wunderlich Securities customer filed an arbitration alleging that equities were held in the customer’s account which were not suitable as they did not correlate to the customer’s investment objectives. The customer consented to settling the matter for $90,000.00 on July 8, 2014. (FINRA Arbitration Case #12-03094).
3)      On November 29, 2017, an Ameriprise customer filed a customer arbitration alleging that Lipscomb made unsuitable recommendations in reference to oil and gas limited partnerships from January 2015 to September 2015. The arbitrator ordered Ameriprise to pay the customer $48,000.00 in compensatory damages on May 2, 2018. (FINRA Arbitration Case #17-03203).
