Did You Lose Money With Brett Wooten As Your Stockbroker?

On August 20, 2024, a customer filed a written complaint alleging mishandling of her mutual fund account. The complaint claimed that Mr. Wooten failed to prevent the customer from withdrawing her funds, which she later gave to a scam artist.

Allegations of Broker Misconduct Against Brett Wooten

The single customer dispute on record involves the following allegations:

  1. Failure to Supervise Client Transactions

The complainant argued that Wooten should have prevented her from making a withdrawal, despite it being voluntarily initiated. While advisors are not typically required to override client instructions without evident fraud, the issue raised concern about potential supervisory negligence. This could relate to FINRA Rule 2010, which mandates high standards of commercial honor and ethical conduct.

  1. Misrepresentation of Tax Consequences

The client alleged that Wooten failed to disclose possible tax consequences tied to her withdrawal. While the customer ultimately gave the funds to a scam artist, the advisor was implicated due to perceived failure in oversight and client education. This may also implicate FINRA Rule 2111, which covers suitability and requires that brokers ensure clients understand the consequences of recommendations and actions.
