Did You Lose Money With Rosser Newton As Your Stockbroker?
A FINRA arbitration (No. 25-00825), filed in April 2025, seeks $5,000,000 in damages. A customer of Skystone Securities alleges that Rosser Newton, through financial advisor Stephen Glover Parks, recommended a wholly unsuitable investment strategy involving two speculative, alternative investments. These private placements were allegedly misrepresented, and due diligence was not adequately performed according to the customer.
The allegations indicate violations of FINRA Rule 2111 (Suitability Rule), which requires brokers to have a reasonable basis to believe that a recommended transaction is suitable for the customer, and FINRA Rule 3110, which obligates firms to supervise investment recommendations.
According to his LinkedIn profile, Steve Parks is a “Managing Director of Skystone Securities, LLC focusing on transaction advisory, financing, private placements and other corporate finance initiatives on behalf of privately held companies”.

Private Placements under Reg D: What is a Private Placement? According to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC):
“Under the federal securities laws, a company may not offer or sell securities unless the offering has been registered with the SEC or an exemption from registration is available. Offerings exempt from the SEC’s registration requirements pursuant to Securities Act Section 4(a)(2) or its safe harbor under Regulation D of the Securities Act are often referred to as private placements.”
The SEC warns that unregistered offerings may be utilized to conduct investment scams and that investors should have the ability to weather a total loss in these illiquid investments. See this SEC Investor Alert about red flags to watch out for in unregistered offerings.
