Retiree Awarded All Investment Losses Plus Interest in Claim Against RBC Capital Markets
April 15 2019 - 9:34AM
The law firm of Securities Fraud Attorney Mark A. Tepper announced
today that an 80-year-old retired secretary who alleged her broker
took advantage of her vulnerability by repeatedly violating FINRA
rules and state law, has been awarded all investment losses plus
interest, attorneys’ fees and arbitration filing fees by a FINRA
Arbitrator.
“We’re very pleased with this award," Mr. Tepper said. "This was
a small case that wouldn't interest a lot of lawyers, but for the
client to get 100% of the recovery without having to pay fees is
gold for her and very satisfying for our law firm which fights to
recover losses for the individual investor who is often retired and
dependent on their savings.”
The Mark Tepper law firm which represented the retiree, had
filed the Claim against RBC Capital Markets, the U.S. broker-dealer
arm of Royal Bank of Canada [NYSE: RY]. The Claim alleged that RBC
Capital Markets broker, James M. Earl, told the retiree that her
irreplaceable funds were in good investments, “when, in fact, he
placed her in harm’s way” by recommending high-risk unsecured
Senior Notes from two oil and gas companies – Linn Energy and
BreitBurn Energy Partners.

they’ve been defrauded should always investigate their legal rights
to determine the merits of potential claims,” Mr. Tepper said.
