Date: February 22, 2017 Category: Customer Dispute Allegations: Client alleges an investment change chosen by the FA transitioned the portfolio from one of the safest asset classes to one of the riskiest, with no diversification and is producing negative results.(11/15/2012) Broker Comment: I HAVE ABSOLUTELY NO RECOLLECTION OF EVER TALKING WITH THIS CLIENT, NOR ENTERING ANY ORDER FOR THE ACCOUNT SPECIFIED. SINCE THIS OCCURED IN 2012, I MAY OR MAY NOT HAVE BEEN INVOLVED, BUT AS STATED, I HAVE NO RECOLLECTION OF IT.
Date: July 10, 2015 Category: Employment Separation After Allegations Firm Name: WELLS FARGO ADVISORS, LLC. Termination Type: Voluntary Resignation Allegations: FA RESIGNED FROM WELLS FARGO ADVISORS, LLC, WHILE AN INTERNAL INVESTIGATION WAS PENDING REGARDING HIS USE OF A THIRD PARTY MONEY MANAGER WHO HAD BEEN PREVIOUSLY BARRED BY THE SEC FROM ACTING IN SUCH A CAPACITY. AT THE TIME OF HIS RESIGNATION, FA WAS UNAWARE THAT THE INVESTIGATION WAS STILL PENDING. Broker Comment: THE ALLEGATION SHOWING IN ITEM 4 IS TOTALLY FALSE. I WAS QUESTIONED BY WELLS FARGO ADVISORS COMPLIANCE IN MAY 2015, IN THE PRESENCE OF BOTH MY BRANCH MANAGER AND COMPLEX MANAGER REGARDING A QUESTION AS TO WHETHER OR NOT I HAD ACCEPTED ORDERS FROM AN INDIVIDUAL WHO WAS BARRED BY THE SEC FROM ACTING IN A MONEY MANAGER POSITION. I HAD NOT DONE SO AND TOLD THEM THAT. I NEVER WAS CONTACTED AGAIN AND HAD NO IDEA ANY INVESTIGATION WAS ONGOING. BOTH MY MANAGER AND COMPLEX MANAGER TOLD ME THE DAY I WAS QUESTIONED THAT THE ISSUE WAS TAKEN CARE OF. WELLS HAS AMENDED THE FILING NOTED TO CONFIRM I WAS UNAWARE OF ANY INVESTIGATION WHEN I LEFT THE FIRM IN JULY. IT IS MY BELIEF THAT WELLS FARGO MADE THIS KNOWINGLY FALSE ALLEGATION IN AN EFFORT TO PUNISH ME FOR LEAVING, KNOWING IT WOULD TRIGGER A FINRA INVESTIGATION. WHILE WITHOUT MERIT, IT HAS HAD THE EFFECT OF DELAYING MY REGISTRATION IN MULTIPLE STATES AND HAD COST ME A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF PRODUCTION.
