New York Securities Fraud Lawyers Blog
Malecki Law is investigating possible claims against Craig Scott Capital, based in Long Island, NY.
According to FINRA BrokerCheck, some customers of the firm have recently filed arbitrations related to the conduct of the firm’s brokers alleging “unsuitability, excessive trading and misrepresentation” against the firm. According to his CRD, the firm’s President and CEO, Craig Scott Taddonio, intends to vigorously defend himself in at least two arbitrations. Craig Scott Capital has also recently been the subject of a FINRA regulatory investigation resulting in the firm paying a fine.
Sources have reported that some brokers from Craig Scott Capital are alleged to be “cold-calling” investors with no prior relationship with the firm and soliciting sales of investments that may be unsuitable for the investor. These investments may include non-traded real estate investment trusts (“REITs”).
Non-traded REITs are well-known in the financial industry for paying high commissions to the selling broker, but have run into problems in the past, causing investors to suffer significant losses. These products should only be sold to investors for whom they are suitable. Unfortunately, they are frequently sold to investors for whom they are not appropriate.
