Investor Disputes

On March 29, 2023, several investors filed a dispute naming Michael Rosenmayer in allegations of unsuitability, negligence, negligent supervision, breach of contract, and misrepresentations and omissions made in relation to purchases of Capital Trust Agency Florida Senior Living Bonds in 2019 and 2020.

The clients further alleged violations of California securities laws, FINRA rules, and federal securities laws. They seek $231,826 in damages in this pending dispute.

In a dispute filed on March 13, 2023, an investor alleged that Michael Rosenmayer failed to inform him about the risks associated with his investments. This dispute was denied by the firm.

However, investors should know that firms can deny disputes without an external review. Investors can still pursue FINRA arbitration after a denial and may be able to recoup their losses.

On May 24, 2018, a trustee alleged that Michael Rosenmayer made an unsuitable investment in their account in January 2018. This dispute was allegedly resolved by Oppenheimer & Company repurchasing a bond from the client.
