Investor Disputes

On March 7, 2023, an investor alleged that Mickey Yablans purchased the incorrect share class of an investment and executed unauthorized sales of other shares between January 3, 2022, and the date of dispute filing. This dispute is currently pending.

In a dispute filed on October 12, 2016, an investor alleged that Mickey Yablans recommended an unsuitable investment on March 2, 2015. This dispute was denied by the firm.
