Mai Nguyen Facing Allegations of Unauthorized Trading

Mai Nguyen (CRD #: 2852314), a broker registered with Cetera Advisor Networks in Newport Beach, California, is the subject of an investor dispute. This disclosure appears on her BrokerCheck record, accessed on December 6, 2023. Investors may also have engaged her services through Tax & Financial Group. 

On September 20, 2023, an investor alleged that Mai Nguyen sold shares of Amazon without her authorization. 

The dispute was denied by the firm, but investors should know that firms can deny disputes without any external review. Our securities attorneys can still recover losses following a denial via FINRA arbitration. 

FINRA Rule 2010

FINRA Rule 2010 holds brokers to high standards of commercial honor and just and equitable principles of trade. Selling shares without authorization violates this rule. 

FINRA Rule 3260 – Unauthorized Trading

Unauthorized trading violates FINRA Rule 3260, which limits brokers to exercising their trading discretion in pre-approved discretionary accounts.
