Investor Dispute
On August 18, 2022, an investor alleged that Linh Tran misrepresented the liquidity of a direct investment purchased in 2020. This dispute was denied by the firm.
However, investors should know that firms don’t need to permit an external review before denying a dispute. Investors may be able to recover their losses by pursuing FINRA arbitration after a denial.
FINRA Rule 2020
FINRA Rule 2020 bans the use of manipulative, deceptive, or otherwise fraudulent methods to influence investors’ decisions. Misrepresenting an investment’s features, risks, or potential returns violates this rule.
FINRA Rule 2010
