Investor Allegations

On August 18, 2021, an investor alleged that Craig Thistlethwaite breached his fiduciary duty regarding a stock option trading strategy between 2010 and 2015. A fiduciary duty requires an investment adviser to act in the best interest of the person they owe the duty to — the investor. This duty encompasses the duty of care, the duty of loyalty, and the duty of good faith and fair dealing.

Craig Thistlethwaite’s alleged conduct is unethical and violates FINRA Rule 2010, which states the brokers must uphold the highest standards of commercial honor. An advisor’s breach of fiduciary duty generally entitles you to damages up to the amount you lost because of the breach.
