On June 5, 2019, another customer initiated investment related arbitration claim in reference to Holler’s conduct was resolved for $50,319.30 in damages based upon accusations of the Securities Service Network customer having been sold fraudulent investments linked to Woodbridge Mortgage Investment Funds 3 and 4.

Another customer initiated investment related complaint in reference to Holler’s activities was resolved on July 11, 2019 for $25,000.00 in damages founded on accusations that the Woodbridge Mortgage Fund promissory notes were fraudulent and had been sold by Holler without securing permission from Securities Service Network.
FINRA Public Disclosure confirms that Holler has been fined $10,000.00 and suspended for two years from associating with any FINRA member in any capacity based on findings that the stockbroker partook in private securities transactions without authorization from Securities Service Network.

According to the AWC, investors had been solicited by Holler between September of 2016 and August of 2017 for investments in Woodbridge Mortgage Investment Fund. The AWC revealed that nine customers of Securities Service Network and ten additional investors collectively purchased $1,390,000.00 in the promissory notes which enabled the stockbroker to accumulate $49,790.00 in commissions. FINRA determined that Holler’s failure to notify Securities Service Network about those transactions and his failure to secure its approval meant that he violated FINRA Rules 2010 and 3280.
Holler was discharged by Securities Service Network on August 10, 2017 for having offered and sold Woodbridge Mortgage Investment Fund 3A to its customers when those securities were neither offered by the securities broker dealer nor permitted to be sold by its stockbrokers.
