This is the third time this summer that Raymond James Financial Inc. (NYSE: RFJ) subsidiaries have been involved in an ARS dispute that was decided in FINRA arbitration. Since July 1, independent broker-dealer Raymond James Financial Services Inc. and brokerage firm Raymond James &amp; Associates have been ordered to repurchase $3.5 million in ARS from clients.<\/p>\n<p>The Glendennings set up their account with Raymond James in January 2008 before the market meltdown. Milton placed the couple\u2019s $1.4 million in an ARS that contained sewer revenue bonds while failing to tell them about the risk involved.<\/p>\n<p>The couple contends that Milton\u2019s behavior wrongly gave them the impression that their investment was highly liquid and could be easily sold. However, Raymond James turned down their request to buy the ARS back at full value.<\/p>\n<p>According to the Glendennings\u2019 securities fraud attorney, the timing of the purchase was key to winning the award. The securities that they bought came up for auction for the first time thirty five days after they made the purchase. The auction failed and the couple were never able \u201c to go to auction.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>At the time of the ARS market crash in February 2008, Raymond James Financial clients held $1.9 billion in auction rate debt\u2014now down to $600 million. To date, none of the securities regulators have sued the firm over ARS sales. Other financial firms, including <a href=\"https:\/\/www.investorlawyers.com\/oppenheimer-co-background-information.html\">Oppenheimer &amp; Co.
