Richard Gomez – Excessive Trading

Richard Gomez Allegedly Engaged in Excessive Trading of Three IRA’s; Gomez also Allegedly Engaged in Unethical Behavior via a Settlement Agreement

Richard Gomez allegedly engaged in several types of misconduct in four separate IRAs of three Avenir customers, according to a recent FINRA Letter of Acceptance, Waiver and Consent (AWC) currently under review by attorneys Alan Rosca and James Booker.

The AWC also makes statements which allege that Gomez excessively traded the three IRAs belonging to clients known only as CW and DW.

Gomez also allegedly exercised discretion without written authority for a total of 222 trades in the same aforementioned IRAs, the AWC reports.

Furthermore, Gomez also allegedly implemented an unsuitable trading strategy in the IRA of a client only known as DK, the AWC notes.

Following purported complaints from DK, Gomez then allegedly engaged in unethical behavior when he allegedly executed a settlement agreement that he never intended to honor, the AWC states.

Richard Gomez Suspended by FINRA for Allegedly Violating the Just and Equitable Principles of Trade

DW purportedly had a salary of $300,000, and, in December of 2013, allegedly discussed retirement accounts which were held, according to the aforementioned recent FINRA Letter of Acceptance, Waiver and Consent (AWC) presently being examined by attorneys Alan Rosca and James Booker.

Gomez allegedly solicited DW and his wife, CW, to transfer some of their retirement assets to accounts at Avenir, with Gomez as their registered rep, the AWC notes.

ln the same month, CW allegedly transferred funds from her separate brokerage account to open a new Avenir IRA with approximately $44,000, and in February 2014 CW also allegedly transferred additional cash from her separate brokerage account to open and fund a second Avenir IRA with approximately $750,000.

DW and CW each had an investment objective of “capital preservation,” and a “moderate” to “moderately aggressive” risk tolerance for their Avenir IRAs.

By reason of the foregoing, Gomez allegedly violated the just and equitable principles of trade and FINRA Rules, the AWC reports.

On October 30, 2015, Avenir filed with FINRA a Uniform Termination Notice for Securities Industry Registration reporting that the Firm had permitted Gomez to resign for having “no business for several months” and owing the Firm approximately $2,700, the AWC states.

One should also note that, according to the AWC, Richard Gomez neither admitted nor denied the FINRA findings.
