Disclosure History
WALTER JAMES KEATING has 8 Disclosure Event(s).
Date: May 19, 2017 Category: Financial Type: Bankruptcy
Date: April 25, 2016 Category: Customer Dispute Allegations: The POA alleges suitability, unauthorized trading and a failure to disclose the risk of the investments. Time Frame: September 24, 1992 to February 18, 2016. Broker Comment: The client opened his account in approximately 1987. He has consistently taken significant distribution by check or credit card activity. He also purchased two Limited Partnerships; one being Geodyne Energy, which produced a high level of income and also at maturity a nice capital gain. This caused him to be comfortable with energy investments. He further purchased Boston Qualified Housing, which produced tax credits of a multiple of his investment. At no time did I ever purchase anything or do any transactions without the client's prior approval. When he required high income I always explained high income will also result in additional risk. I have never discussed investments with the client's wife and have no idea how much the client would have shared with her. In reviewing distributions I determined that from 1997 thru 2015, the client took large distributions and had tax credits of a multiple of $25,000. I have no way of finding how much was withdrawn before 1997.
