Ex-Forta Financial Broker Accused of Broker Misconduct

Pending Customer Disputes Seek Nearly $2.6M in Broker Misconduct Damages

If you suffered losses while working with ex-Forta Financial Group stockbroker Gregory Jon Williams, you may want to consider filing a FINRA arbitration claim to pursue damages.

Williams, who is named in several pending customer disputes, is no longer a registered representative. He appears to still be affiliated with Presidential Wealth Management in Colorado Springs.

Several of the complaints involving Williams reportedly are over investor losses related to alternative investments. These investments included business development companies (BDCs), oil and gas programs, private placements, annuities, and non-traded real estate investment trusts (non-traded REITs). These investments are considered high-risk and not suitable for most retail and conservative investors.
