According to his BrokerCheck record, Arni Diamond has been the subject of three other customer complaints. 

One claim, alleging misrepresentation of a real estate investment trust (REIT) in 2004, was denied.

Kalos Capital Brokers and Unsuitable Investment Recommendations

Kalos Capital is being sued by numerous customers who’ve accused its registered representatives of recommending investments that were inappropriate, whether for their portfolio, investment goals, or risk tolerance levels. 

Most recently, Kalos customers have linked their losses to the GPB private placements that were sold to them by broker-dealers and their representatives. Now, GPB Capital Holdings is accused of operating an over $1.5B Ponzi scam. Kalos is among the dozens of broker-dealers who’ve earned some $160M in commissions while GPP investors sustained huge losses.
