Soreide Law Group Investigating Allegations Against Pennsylvania Financial Advisor

Soreide Law Group has been contacted by two former clients of Anthony Diaz (CRD #4131948), a Scotrun, Pennsylvania, financial planner who has been accused by the Financial Industry's Regulatory Authority (FINRA) of allegedly duping dozens of clients out of millions of dollars over the past few years. We are currently investigating these allegations.

FINRA alleges that Anthony Diaz bought unsuitable variable life insurance investments for approximately 80 clients, many of whom were near retirement age. These funds had large exit fees. Diaz is also accused of falsifying financial information and dates. Many of these investments were illiquid making it impossible for elderly clients to convert these products into cash.

Diaz is also accused by FINRA of allegedly committing fraud in connection with alternative investments. Diaz allegedly promised high returns enticing investors.

Further allegations by FINRA against Diaz allegedly included unauthorized trading, lying to clients regarding being fired from four firms, and falsifying his records by creating 71 false records to make unauthorized trades during the period of March 2010 and April 2011, according to FINRA. Allegedly Diaz forged a client's signature, overstated her risk tolerance, and inflated her tax bracket.
