investment arbitration

Preston Jason Bellaire, of Orlando, Florida, a stockbroker registered with MSI Financial Services Inc., was the subject of a customer initiated investment related Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) securities arbitration claim that was settled for $7,500.00 in damages based upon allegations that Bellaire made misrepresentations of material fact about risks in connection with the sale of direct investments (LP interests and DPP interests) during the time that Bellaire was associated with MSI Financial Services Inc. FINRA Arbitration No. 20-02273 (March 1, 2021).

The securities broker dealer denied this complaint.
