Did Sharon Mae Perdue Cause You Investment Losses?
Sharon Mae Perdue, a former broker at Boston, Massachusetts based LPL Financial LLC, submitted a Letter of Acceptance, Waiver and Consent (AWC) in which she agreed to the described penalties and to the entry of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority’s (FINRA) findings that she entered all of her trades in some over-the-counter securities as being unsolicited when, in truth, such trades were solicited and, by this means, mismarked numerous trades thereby causing her firm’s books and records to be incorrect. FINRA’s findings also stated that Ms. Perdue exercised discretion in customers’ accounts. Some of the customers verbally authorized Ms. Perdue to trade in their accounts without their authorization on the same day of the trade. Other customers consented to Ms. Perdue following an agreed-upon investment strategy, but she failed to always effect the trades on the same day as her discussion with the customers. Further, FINRA found that none of the customers had provided written authorization to Ms. Perdue to employ such discretion, and she did not have the firm’s prior written acceptance of any discretionary account.
According to FINRA, Ms. Perdue sent misleading email communications to some customers that failed to disclose material information about the securities she recommended, included incorrect and/or misleading information, contained predictions and/or projections of future price performance for securities, and failed to include a reasonable basis for her recommendations. Further, FINRA found that Ms. Perdue made material misrepresentations to customers when she made improper price predictions and promised unrealistic returns pertaining to certain over-the-counter securities she recommended to the customers. Additionally, FINRA found that Ms. Perdue recommended and sold a low-priced, over-the-counter security to customers who were seniors. When Ms. Perdue made the recommendations and sales, she had no reasonable grounds to believe that the recommendations were suitable based on each customer’s other security holdings, financial situation, and needs. Ms. Perdue of Longmont, Colorado was fined $15,000 and suspended from association with any FINRA member in any capacity for two years.
