Important Notice Regarding Broker David Taddeo’s Termination by LPL Financial
Recently, it came to our attention from his BrokerCheck record that David Taddeo (CRD #: 1163829) was terminated by LPL Financial. This development, recorded on February 9, 2024, followed allegations against Mr. Taddeo that he led customers to engage in a private securities transaction, a venture in which he also had involvement.
Understanding Private Securities Transactions and Regulatory Standards
In accordance with FINRA Rule 3280, brokers are mandated to inform their firm in writing prior to participating in any private securities transactions. Furthermore, FINRA Rule 2010 expects brokers to uphold high standards of commercial honor and fair trade, principles which could potentially be compromised in the solicitation of investors for private securities transactions.

The events leading up to his termination were not without precedent. Specifically, on December 29, 2023, a grievance was filed by an investor alleging David Taddeo recommended an unsuitable private securities transaction, with the claimant seeking reparations amounting to $124,167.
Moreover, on July 30, 2020, and April 17, 2020, Mr. Taddeo faced accusations of misrepresenting the terms of variable annuities, a form of investment requiring diligent oversight due to its inherent complexity and associated risks. These disputes culminated in significant settlement amounts and further illuminated the challenges inherent in navigating variable annuity investments.
Variable Annuities Explained

Due to their complexity, associated costs, and liquidity challenges, they are not suitable for all investors. This underscores the importance of thorough evaluation and transparent communication regarding potential investments.
