The securities fraud attorneys at Meyer Wilson are currently investigating claims against broker Zahir Walji (CRD# 5073186).
According to the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA), former Oppenheimer & Co., Inc. broker Zahir Walji (CRD# 5073186) has two pending customer disputes against him.
The first dispute, filed on July 31, 2015, alleges that Walji solicited clients to invest in and lend money to two private business ventures in 2012 and 2013. The clients claim that they have not received the return of interest, any dividends, or of principal, and have requested $590,000 in damages.
The second dispute, filed on April 28, 2016, alleges that Walji ignored his customer’s risk profile and investment objectives, purchased unsuitable investments in their accounts, churned the accounts, breached his contract, breached his fiduciary duty, and engaged in a scheme or plan that operated as fraud on the clients between December 1, 2009 and October 31, 2014. The customer has requested $2 million in damages.
