Broker Gerald Dewes Accused of Selling Away

The White Law Group continues to investigate  potential securities fraud lawsuits involving former financial advisor Gerald Dewes and the liability that Dewes’ employers may have for failure to properly supervise him.

FINRA Reportedly Bars Advisor Gerald R. Dewes after Allegations of Selling Away

According to public records on the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority’s website, on March 30,  Dewes allegedly refused to appear for on-the-record testimony requested by FINRA in connection with an investigation into his potential alleged participation in undisclosed private securities transactions and outside business activities.

According to his broker profile, Dewes was reportedly registered with Cadaret, Grant & Co. in East Amherst, NY from 2014 until 2019 when he was allegedly discharged after allegations that he “sold away from the firm by soliciting client investments into an undisclosed outside business activity, Elite Roasters, Inc. for which he was an officer and director. Internal review continues.”

Dewes’ broker profile indicates that he reportedly has two customer complaints pending from March and May of this year. Allegations include “unsuitable investment recommendations, common law fraud, breach of contract, negligent supervision, and breach of fiduciary duty in connection with their alleged investments in two unapproved private investments,” among others.
