Investors Accuse Broker James Dunn of Unauthorized Trading

According to his BrokerCheck, there are five pending claims involving Dunn:

October 2021: This client alleges unauthorized transactions and unsuitable equity securities sales in his account. The claimant is requesting more than $535K in damages.
October 2021: Making similar allegations, this customer is requesting nearly $473K in damages.
September 2021: Alleging unauthorized trades involving foreign securities, this client is seeking over $90K in damages.
August 2021: Claiming unauthorized trades in foreign securities, this customer is requesting over $1.1M in damages.
July 2021: Also related to unauthorized equity sales, this claimant is requesting over $316K in damages.

In October 2021, Ameriprise allowed Dunn to voluntarily resign in the wake of the unsuitability and unauthorized trading allegations.

James Dunn was an Ameriprise broker from 2019 to 2021. He worked nine years in the industry. Other firms where he used to be registered include Wells Fargo Clearing Services and Morgan Stanley.

Even if Ameriprise wasn’t aware that Dunn was conducting unsuitable and unauthorized trades, it was the brokerage firm’s duty to properly supervise this broker. All brokerage firms must have protocols in place that protect investors from broker misconduct or negligence.

Unfortunately, a broker-dealer’s failure to supervise occurs all too often, enabling financial advisors to mismanage customers’ accounts so that losses can result.
