Joseph Vincent Copploe of Youngstown Ohio a stockbroker formerly employed by Lincoln Investment Planning has been discharged by the firm on August 25, 2017 supported by a customer’s allegations that Copploe defrauded the customer in the course of effecting the surrender of a life insurance policy.

Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) Public Disclosure reveals that on February 7, 2006, a customer filed an investment related complaint regarding Copploe’s activities where the customer requested $8,000.00 in damages based upon allegations that while Copploe was associated with Brecek & Young Advisors, Copploe was inappropriately sold a variable annuity contract and had been charged advisory fees that were excessive.

Moreover, on August 25, 2017, a customer initiated investment related complaint concerning Copploe’s activities was settled to resolve accusations that while Copploe was associated with Legend Equities Corporation, Copploe not only forged the customer’s signature on insurance policy documentation to surrender the policies, but also forged the customer’s signature on documentation to effect the exchange of two annuity contracts issued by Athene and American General with annuities issued through Fidelity and Guaranty Life.
