Richard Charles Foster Allegedly Makes A Highly Unsuitable Investment Recommendation

The law firm of Oakes & Fosher is presently investigating the alleged misconduct of former securities broker Richard Charles Foster. According to his publicly available FINRA BrokerCheck report, Richard Charles Foster has been the subject of a customer dispute and a FINRA sanction.

Richard Charles Foster was an Oklahoma based securities broker. He worked in the securities industry for ten years. During his career, he was registered with six different securities firms. He is no longer working as a registered securities broker in any fashion.

• In January 2018, Richard Charles Foster was officially sanctioned by FINRA. The findings in this matter state that he made an unsuitable recommendation to a customer that they liquidate an IRA and give him the proceeds to trade in an outside brokerage account. This alleged outside account utilized a risky and costly options trading strategy that was unsuitable for the customer. Due to these alleged actions, he was fined $10,000 and suspended from acting as a securities broker in any fashion for a period of six months.

Many investors are unaware of the legal recourse available to them after losing money due to securities broker fraud and/or negligence. The truth is that investors who have lost money in this fashion may actually be entitled to damages.
