The claim seeks damages in excess of $1,000,000.

Before recommending an investment, a broker-dealer has a fiduciary duty to adequately disclose the risks involved in the investment and to perform the necessary due diligence to determine whether the investment is suitable for the investor.  It is alleged that VSR Financial failed to perform the necessary due diligence on these investments prior to recommending them to these particular investors.

The financial advisor that handled the account at issue is named John Towers.  According to his FINRA Broker Report (CRD), it appears that John Towers worked in VSR Financial’s Plano, Texas office from June 2002 until December 2013.  It also appears that in December 2013, Mr. Towers was suspended from the securities industry by FINRA for allegedly recommending that a married couple invest in high-risk private placements and real estate investment trusts.  Mr. Towers’ CRD also indicates that he has been the subject of at least sixteen (16) customer complaints.

When asked about the claim, D. Daxton White, the firm’s managing partner, stated “This claim bears striking similarities to other claims we have filed against VSR involving this particular financial advisor.”
