Stuart Graham Dickinson, Formerly with WFG INVESTMENTS INC, Highland Park, TX, Barred by FINRA

Soreide Law Group obtained the following information from FINRA’s Disciplinary Actions January 2017:

Stuart Graham Dickinson (CRD #1047824, Highland Park, Texas)
was barred by FINRA and required to pay $924,000, plus interest, in restitution to clients for allegedly selling securities without reasonable grounds for believing that the investment was suitable for any investor.
FINRA’s findings stated that Dickinson allegedly sold more than $1 million of limited partnership interests in a company whose purported business was to acquire and operate automated teller machines (ATMs) to seven clients while he was associated with his member firm. The company did not own any ATMs. Dickinson’s firm permitted him to sell interests in the company as private securities transactions. Dickinson allegedly recommended the securities without first conducting adequate and reasonable due diligence on the company.
Dickinson allegedly failed to verify or confirm information he obtained from interested parties, and failed to detect multiple red-flag warnings that the company was a fraudulent Ponzi scheme. As a result, the clients lost their entire investments. If Dickinson had conducted a reasonable investigation, he would have recognized red flags indicating that the offering was fraudulent and thus unsuitable for any investors regardless of their wealth, risk tolerance, age or other individual characteristics.
(FINRA Case #2012033286901)
