A recent investor complaint against Youngstown, Ohio financial advisor Brian Nelson (CRD# 3026585) alleges that his conduct resulted in six-figure damages. Financial Industry Regulatory Authority records show that he is registered as a broker and an investment advisor with StoneX Securities and StoneX Advisors, respectively.
Mr. Nelson’s BrokerCheck report discloses one recent investor complaint. Filed in August 2024, it alleges that as a representative of StoneX Securities and WRP Investments, he sold “high-commission, complex, risky alternative investment and illiquid investment products,” including variable annuity and non-traded REIT products, that resulted in losses. The pending complaint alleges damages of $180,000.
Other disclosures on Mr. Nelson’s BrokerCheck report concern regulatory sanctions against him. In 2001, the National Association of Securities Dealers suspended him in connection with allegations that he made negligent misrepresentations in connection with the sale of shares of IPOs. In 2002, the state of Illinois revoked his registration in connection with the NASD sanction.
