In FINRA Case 2016050400401, alleged Kamperman was suspended for 18 months and fined $20,000 to resolve allegations that he made investment recommendations in the 401(k) and IRA retirement accounts of customers that were unsuitable based on the customer’s financial situation and needs, risk tolerance, investment experience and investment objectives. The customers suffered over $407,000 in trading losses as a result.

In February 2016, the IRS filed an $81,000 tax lien in McLennan County, Texas against Kamperman.
