Specifically, on March 21, 2001, a customer filed an investment related complaint concerning Stutzer’s conduct where the customer requested $12,628.62 in damages supported by allegations that it was not suitable for the customer to have been placed in a variable annuity.
Subsequently, a customer initiated investment related complaint involving Stutzer’s activities was settled for $49,447.04 in damages founded on accusations that Stutzer made false or misleading statements to the customer about a variable annuity issued by Jackson National Life Insurance Company, inducing the customer to purchase the product. Thereafter, a customer filed an investment related complaint regarding Stutzer’s activities in which the customer sought $61,261.63 in damages based upon allegations that between November of 2013 and December of 2017, the customer received phony assurances from Stutzer about the returns that the customer would generate on her mutual fund holdings.
