Did You Lose Money With Joseph Audia As Your Stockbroker?

Joseph Audia was suspended from acting in any principal capacity and fined $5,000 in 2022 by FINRA to resolve allegations that he failed to reasonably supervise a broker who excessively and unsuitably traded certain customer accounts. FINRA found that he overlooked a number of red flags indicating excessive trading, including high cost-to-equity ratios and high turnover rates. In addition FINRA found that AUdia failed to enforce commission restrictions imposed on the broker by the firm and reflected on the active account reports that he reviewed.

In 2010 a customer of American Capital Partners was paid $195,000 to resolve a FINRA arbitration alleging that Audia made unsuitable recommendations and churned the accounts.

In 2007 a customer with similar claims was paid a settlement of $24,000.

Currently there are two pending cases against Audia. Allegations include churning, unsuitability, unauthorized trading, misrepresentations and omissions. Cumulative damages are nearly $650,000.
