Investors apparently complained about securities broker Richard Lloyd Carman [CRD: 2002971, Memphis, Tennessee], based on public information located on Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) BrokerCheck. Carman worked for LPL Financial LLC from January 3, 2002, to August 4, 2021, and later for Ameriprise Financial Services LLC from July 23, 2021, to April 12, 2022. Investors should review the information below to discover more about Carman’s disclosures and client allegations reported to FINRA.

LPL Financial LLC Investor Accused Carman Of Unsuitable Recommendations

Specifically, an LPL Financial LLC client filed FINRA Arbitration No. 24-00611 about Richard Carman. Mainly, the client alleged that Carman made unsuitable recommendations related to an investment made in 2013 that was inconsistent with the client’s investment objectives and risk tolerance. For this reason, the client allegedly incurred damages associated with real estate securities. Therefore, on May 6, 2025 LPL Financial LLC settled this matter by paying the client $16,500 in damages.

Richard Carman Sanctioned By FINRA For Failure To Respond To FINRA Requests For Information

Particularly, FINRA issued Case: 2021072182001 on September 27, 2022 sanctioning Carman with a permanent bar from associating with any FINRA member in all capacities and an indefinite suspension. Allegedly, Carman failed to respond to FINRA requests for information following the initiation of a regulatory action on June 24, 2022. As a result, after Carman did not request termination of his suspension within three months of FINRA’s Notice of Suspension dated June 24, 2022, FINRA imposed a permanent bar effective September 27, 2022.

LPL Financial LLC Disaffiliated With Carman For Discretionary Trading

Notably, on July 6, 2021 LPL Financial LLC disaffiliated with Carman. Evidently LPL Financial LLC alleged that Carman improperly exercised time and price discretion without written authorization, which resulted in a mutual fund transaction occurring after a client’s death.
