Broker Dana Vietor Involved Permanently Barred by FINRA

Financial advisor Dana Vietor formerly of CFD Investments has been barred by the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”). Between January 1, 2014 and November 11, 2018, Vietor allegedly engaged in the sale of promissory notes called “Deposit Agreements” in connection with at least 40 customers totaling more than $3 million. The Deposit Agreements were unregistered securities, and Vietor engaged in these sales without disclosing and receiving approval from his firms for each individual private securities transaction, in violation of NASD Rule 3040 (for conduct prior to September 21, 2015), FINRA Rule 3280 (for conduct on and after September 21, 2015), and FINRA Rule 2010.

The findings stated that Vietor, along with other business partners, was engaged in a start-up business venture that required funding. The deposit agreements raised funds for entities associated with the business venture. Vietor is a member of the management team that manages these entities and has membership interests in each. Therefore, Vietor received indirect selling compensation. According to FINRA BrokerCheck, Vietor was previously registered as a broker with CFD Investments from July 2016 to November 2018 in Dallas, TX.

Signs Investors Should Look Out For About Their Brokerage Accounts

As an investor, there are a few signs that you should look out for if you believe you may have a claim against your financial advisor. These signs could potentially indicate misconduct, negligence, or investment fraud. Investors are encouraged to contact our firm immediately if you have experienced any of the following:

  • You have substantial losses in your investment accounts
  • You received a call, email, or other communication from your broker’s supervisor or manager regarding your portfolio
  • Your broker misrepresented investment opportunities, or failed to disclose details about investments
  • You notice unauthorized transactions in your investment accounts
  • Your broker is not returning your calls or emails
  • You filed a complaint with your brokerage firm that has not been resolved
  • You see a mistake on your statement, or receive a fraudulent statement

Some investors have close relationships with their brokers due to the time and trust built over the course of their investment relationship. However, it is crucial to remember that financial decisions should be based on careful analysis and due diligence rather than solely relying on personal relationships.

Engaging the services of an experienced securities attorney to evaluate your specific circumstances is strongly advised.
