Did Mark Brian Degner Cause You Investment Losses?
Mark Brian Degner of Shady Cove, Oregon, submitted a Letter of Acceptance, Waiver, and Consent (AWC) to the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) for negligently making material misstatements pertaining to the sale of 20-year CDs to elderly customers. According to FINRA’s complaint, the customers sustained losses of approximately $75,000 as a result of the misrepresented CDs.
FINRA’s findings alleged that Mark Degner, while employed by LPL Financial LLC, misrepresented 20-year interest rate-linked CDs to his customers by claiming that the CDs were not subject to any survivor benefit limitations when, in fact, they were. The survivor benefits of the CDs were actually subject to a limitation that restricted the amount of early redemptions among purchasers. While the issuer’s disclosure statement revealed this information, Mr. Degner did not review this information and made recommendations that his customers purchase CDs totaling $685,000. As a result of the survivor benefit limitation, the estates of two of the customers were not able to fully redeem their CDs and incurred substantial losses of approximately $75,000. Mark Degner, without admitting or denying FINRA’s allegations, was fined $7,500 and received a suspension for 20 business days.
