An additional customer initiated investment related complaint concerning Lee’s activities was resolved for $375,000.00 in damages founded on accusations that the customer was placed into an auction rate security that failed to be suitable for the customer.

Lee has also been referenced in a customer initiated investment related written complaint which was settled for $15,000.00 supported by allegations that a fiduciary duty that was owed to the customer had been breached and that the customer had been defrauded on mutual fund purchases effected by Lee when he was employed by Citigroup Global Markets. According to the claim, false and misleading statements had been concerning mutual funds. The claim also alleges that Lee engaged in unsuitable trading.
