Florida Investor Sues TD Ameritrade For Up to $5M. Our Skilled Margin Abuse Lawyers Are Representing This Claimant

A Fort Lauderdale, Florida investor who got involved in options trading using TD Ameritrade’s platform has filed a seven-figure lawsuit against the broker-dealer. This claimant contends that margin abuse, including raising the margin requirement on one of his investments by 500%, immediately rendered his account worthless. Now, he is seeking up to $5M in damages for his losses.

Shepherd Smith Edwards and Kantas (investorlawyers.com) are representing this investor in his FINRA lawsuit against TD Ameritrade. Incredibly, it appears that for most of the options contracts he secured through the broker-dealer’s platform, he was either the only one or one of the very few, with these options contracts.
