Berthel, as a result, allegedly paid excessive sales charges of approximately $667,000, and Jeffrey Paul Dragon also allegedly recommended to 12 customers– many of whom were purportedly seniors and so-called unsophisticated investors– that they liquidate UIT positions which they had held for a short period, the Complaint notes.
Dragon’s customers allegedly held their positions for only a few months, which they had purchased on Dragon’s recommendations and then used the proceeds to purchase other UITs, the Complaint reports.
Finally, Berthel’s only regular supervisory review of UIT recommendations and customer activity allegedly consisted of manual reviews of daily trade blotters that did not indicate either how long Dragon‘s recommendations to these aforementioned customers were further unsuitable, the Complaint notes.
