The law firm of Oakes & Fosher is presently investigating the alleged misconduct of former securities broker Patrick Rynn. According to his publicly available FINRA BrokerCheck report, Patrick Rynn has been the subject of a customer dispute.
Patrick Rynn was a New York-based securities broker. He worked in the securities industry for ten years. During his career, he was registered with four different securities firms. He is no longer working as a registered securities broker in any fashion.
His Registrations
- Chase Investment Services Corp. (2008-2009)
- Equity Services (2009-2010)
- MSI Financial Services (2010-2017)
- MML Investors Services (2017-2019)
The Allegations
In October 2018, an investor’s power of attorney alleged that Patrick Rynn exploited the account holder’s diminished mental capacity to solicit the sale of unsuitable securities. This case was settled for $440,329 in damages.
What Does This Mean?
Financial elder abuse is a very serious charge as it can cause irreparable damage to elderly investors. The act occurs when a broker takes advantage of an elderly investor’s diminished capacity to make financial decisions. This can lead to brokers coercing these investors into purchasing equities that are not suitable for them, trading their portfolio in an excessive manner, or even converting their money for their own personal use. Regardless of whatever form it takes, financial elder abuse is a heinous abuse of power and can lead to more than just a loss of capital, but also depression and stress that can greatly reduce an investor’s life span.
