Investors have reportedly disputed the sales practices of securities broker Michael Joseph Murray [CRD: 5034449, New York, New York], according to publicly available information on Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) BrokerCheck. Murray worked for Laidlaw Company beginning on October 27, 2010, and remains registered with the firm. Keep reading to discover more about the disclosures involving Murray and what they may mean for investors.
Specifically, on September 23, 2024, a Laidlaw Company client filed FINRA Arbitration No. 24-01977 concerning Michael Murray. Primarily, the client alleged that Murray breached his fiduciary duty from 2018 to 2023. For this reason, the client allegedly incurred damages related to stocks, over-the-counter equities, and private placements. Therefore, the client requested $399,000 in compensation from Laidlaw Company or Murray. It appears that this arbitration is pending a resolution.
Particularly, the Securities and Exchange Commission issued Case No. 3-21801 on November 20, 2023, sanctioning Murray. Allegedly, from July 2020 through October 2021, Murray made securities recommendations to investors without adequately evaluating whether the overall pattern of transactions was excessive in light of each investor’s financial profile. The Securities and Exchange Commission found that these recommendations prioritized Murray’s financial interests over those of the investors and failed to satisfy the Care Obligation required under Regulation Best Interest. As a result, Murray was ordered to cease and desist from future violations, was formally censured, and was required to pay disgorgement of $24,414.17, prejudgment interest of $1,143.91, and a civil monetary penalty of $20,000.
