According to publicly available records, Howell Gregory “Gregg” Ferguson, an LPL Financial broker discloses a regulatory sanction and a pending customer dispute.
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.
In 2/2022 FINRA suspended Gregg Ferguson for two years and fined him $10,000 to resolve allegations that he forged documents by signing a customer’s name without the customer’s permission. FINRA found that initially Ferguson denied signing the customer’s name in response to FINRA’s request for information. Subsequently FINRA obtained Ferguson’s emails about the forms and Ferguson recanted his false statements and admitted he had signed the customer’s name without permission.
In 11/2021 a customer of LPL Financial filed FINRA case 21-2805 alleging that Ferguson recommended two unsuitable alternative investments. The customer seeks $58,000 in this currently pending case.
