Barred Broker Joseph Cannon Faces Customer Complaint

Financial advisor Joseph Cannon, formerly of Northwestern Mutual Investment Services, is currently facing a customer complaint alleging $2,360,400 in investor damages. The allegations relate to unauthorized transactions. Cannon was permitted to resign from Northwestern Mutual Investment Services in August 2024 while he was under internal review for a series of questionable transactions associated with both his personal bank accounts and client investment accounts. In March 2025, Cannon was permanently barred from acting as a broker by the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”). Cannon allegedly refused to appear for on-the-record testimony in response to a FINRA Rule 8210 request on January 24, 2025. Therefore, Cannon violated FINRA Rules 8210 and 2010, and has been barred in all capacities.

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.
