Christopher Miller (CRD 4044818) has a customer dispute on BrokerCheck that settled on October 7, 2026 for $50,901. The disclosure lists Emerson Equity as the firm.

Investors apparently complained about securities broker Rainer Rudi Hohlbein (also known as Rainer Rudi Hohlbeim) [CRD: 1282146, Verona, Wisconsin], given the disclosures on Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) BrokerCheck. Hohlbein worked for LPL Financial LLC from October 11, 2011, to October 13, 2021. See the following information to find out more about the disclosures involving this securities broker.
Notably, an LPL Financial LLC client filed FINRA Arbitration No. 24-00611 about Rainer Hohlbein. Mainly, the client alleged that Hohlbein made unsuitable recommendations concerning an investment that did not align with the client’s objectives and risk tolerance. Because of this, the investor allegedly sustained damages linked to real estate securities (REITs). As a result, on May 6, 2025 LPL Financial LLC settled this matter by paying the client $10,800 in damages.
Additionally, a client of LPL Financial LLC contested Hohlbein’s sales practices, according to a complaint. Allegedly, Hohlbein made omissions by not clearly explaining the process required to request a step-up benefit tied to a variable annuity during February 20, 2015, to February 21, 2015. It appears that Hohlbein allegedly caused the client to suffer damages associated with variable annuities. Therefore LPL Financial LLC opted to settle the matter on March 11, 2015, by compensating the client in the amount of $6,558.15.
