Wade J. Lawrence, formerly a broker with Southwest Securities and prior to that with Oppenheimer & Co. , was charged by the Securities & Exchange Commission (SEC) with executing unauthorized trades in client accounts and defrauding other customers.

Lawrence is also named in five customer suits/arbitrations seeking millions in damages by former customers at Southwest Securities and Oppenheimer & Co. See this for more.

The SEC complaint alleges:

  • Lawrence executed unauthorized trades in speculative and hight risk securities in customer accounts
  • Lawrence’s clients lost over $2 million due to his unauthorized trading
  • Lawrence fraudulently obtained $480,000 from clients claiming he could trade securities at an advantageous price
  • Lawrence used most of the money obtained for personal expenses

Lawrence has previously been permanently barred from the securities industry and ordered to pay millions in restitution. He has agreed to settle the current action by consenting to an order enjoining him from further securities violations.
