Investors may have incurred losses due to securities broker Teddy R Ezzell III [CRD: 1527524, Fort Collins, Colorado], based on disclosures on Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) BrokerCheck. Ezzell has worked with LPL Financial LLC since December 15, 2014, and with Western Wealth Management LLC since June 22, 2016. Below, you can learn more about the allegations reported against Ezzell, which include claims of unsuitable recommendations and misrepresentation.
Specifically, a Momentum Independent Network Inc. client filed FINRA Arbitration No. 24-00750 about Teddy Ezzell. Mainly, the client alleged that Ezzell made unsuitable recommendations, breached his fiduciary duty, and misrepresented important facts. Also, the client alleged that the firm failed to supervise the broker. Because of this, the client allegedly sustained damages on non-traded real estate investment trusts. As a result, on May 30, 2024, Momentum Independent Network Inc. settled this matter by paying the client $35,000.00 in damages.
Evidently, a client of Southwest Securities Inc. contested Teddy Ezzell’s sales practices, according to a complaint dated February 8, 2024. Allegedly, Ezzell made unsuitable recommendations.
