Details Emerge Regarding FINRA Lawsuit Against David Lerner

In its formal complaint, the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) has accused the Syosset, New York-based brokerage firm, David Lerner Associates (DLA) of investment fraud. FINRA cites that DLA marketed real estate investment trust shares to unsophisticated and elderly investors by using misleading information to lure unsuspecting investors to the $2 billion Apple REIT Ten offering. DLA allegedly failed to take into account whether the shares were suitable for its customers. FINRA sued DLA on Tuesday, May 31, 2011, accusing the firm of misleading investors and offering unsuitable products in the $2 billion real estate fund. FINRA claims that DLA should have conducted more due diligence on the offering. DLA has argued against FINRA’s accusations. In a statement, DLA denies the accusation.Last year, FINRA accused DLA of overcharging customers on sales of mortgage securities and municipal bonds. That case is still pending.
