FINRA requires brokers and brokerage firms to report customer complaints and disputes as well as regulatory sanctions.

In April 2020, in FINRA case 2018058134301sd, Coogan was permanently barred from the securities industry to resolve allegations that he made reckless misrepresentations of material fact in agreements he signed in connection with loans his customer obtained from multiple banks. Coogan enabled the customer to improperly obtain multiple bank loans by over-pledging the customer’s assets and making material misrepresentations to the lender banks.
Coogan had been employed by LPL Financial since June of 2009. Coogan operated his financial services business through a dba called Champion Wealth Strategies.
