According to publicly available records Matthew J. Westfall , (CRD# 1112977) ,  a   stockbroker who is not currently registered, discloses a pending customer dispute, a discharge from employment and a final regulatory matter.

The Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) is the agency that licenses and regulates stockbrokers and brokerage firms. FINRA requires brokers and brokerage firms to report customer complaints and disputes as well as regulatory sanctions. In addition brokers are required to disclose certain financial matters such as personal bankruptcies, judgments and liens.

Westfall discloses that in March 2016, a customer of Securities America filed FINRA arbitration 16-0771 alleging damages of $336,813 for unsuitable recommendations, fraudulent misrepresentation and violations of federal and Nebraska securities laws in connection with an investment in real estate securities. That matter is currently pending.

Westfall discloses that in 12/2012 he was discharged from National Planning Corporation who alleged that he solicited an investment and accepted funds in connection with an investment that was not offered by the firm.

Westfall discloses that in January 2014, he was fined $25,000 and suspended for two years to resolve allegations that he solicited and accepted funds from firm customers to purchase Iraqi Dinar currency as an investment and other allegations.

Westfall’s prior employment includes Primex, National Planning Corporation, Securities America, Sunamerica Securities and VSR Financial Services.
