Ernesto Chavez (CRD: 4315877) faces a new pending claim on BrokerCheck over an investment made in 2018. The customer alleges $180,000 in damages, and no arbitrator has ruled on the claim.
Evidently, the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) contains important investor dispute disclosures and a regulatory action disclosure on the record of securities broker Sandra Lee White (CRD#: 805113, Houston, Texas). It appears that White worked for securities firms Hall Flake Associates and Cetera Advisor Networks before joining Goldman Sachs Company, Goldman Sachs Personal Financial Management, and Mercer Allied Company. However, the investor disputes concern White’s actions at Cetera Advisor Networks and Hall Flake Associates. To learn more, read about the following investment disputes.
Evidently, a client of Cetera Advisor Networks disputed Sandra White’s sale of a real estate security. The August 2020 FINRA Arbitration Claim alleges that White made unsuitable recommendations. Supposedly, the client’s account was not diversified as a result of following White’s advice. Next, the client alleges negligence at Cetera Advisor Networks. Allegedly, White also misrepresented key details in connection with the client’s real estate security investment. For this reason, the client asked for compensation. Cetera Advisor Networks agreed to compensate the client in the amount of $7,500 to resolve this matter.
BrokerCheck shows that an investor brought a dispute about Sandra White’s actions at Hall Flake Associates. Supposedly, the client experienced damages on individual contract investments and LP interests. It appears that Hall Flake Associates opted to settle this matter by making a $25,000 payment to the client. White did not take part in the settlement of this matter and denies the allegations.
Apparently, securities broker Sandra White denies allegations of sales practice violations. Have you experienced investment losses by interacting with this broker?
