ORIGINAL POST-June 2017-According to publicly available records Christopher S. Laws , (CRD# 4479529) ,  a  currently unregistered stockbroker who last worked for BCG Securities  , discloses a prior customer dispute, a current regulatory investigation and a termination from employment.

The Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) is the agency that licenses and regulates stockbrokers and brokerage firms. FINRA requires brokers and brokerage firms to report customer complaints and disputes as well as regulatory sanctions. In addition brokers are required to disclose certain financial matters such as personal bankruptcies, judgments and liens.

IN 8/2016 the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission began an investigation alleging that Laws did not make full disclosure that his entity was not affiliated with the federal government when offering investment products to clients and that he improperly notarized customer documents.

In 10/2014, Laws was discharged from LPL Financial who alleged: “concerns regarding business practices, including communications with customers.”

Christopher Laws was employed by BCG Securities 12/2014-4/2017 and with LPL Financial 7/2005-12/20014. Laws discloses a business affiliation with Keystone Wealth Management and Federal Employee Retirement Counselors.
