Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) Public Disclosure reveals that this is the first complaint involving Amirriahei’s conduct since he was barred by FINRA.

Amirriahei has been identified in two additional customer initiated investment related disputes containing accusations of his misconduct while employed with Wells Fargo and Pruco Securities. In particular, a customer initiated investment related arbitration claim regarding Amirriahei’s activities was settled for $60,000.00 in damages founded on allegations that while Amirriahei was associated with Prudential Securities Incorporated, he gave the customer bad advice concerning the customer’s investments in energy sector equities.
Thereafter, a customer filed an investment related complaint regarding Amirriahei’s activities where the customer sought unspecified damages based upon accusations that when Amirriahei was associated with Prudential Securities Incorporated, he omitted information concerning the fees and charges on the customer’s insurance policies; and effected a withdrawal from the customer’s investment account without getting the customer’s approval.
FINRA Public Disclosure further confirms that Amirriahei was discharged by Wells Fargo Advisors LLC on September 6, 2016 supported by allegations of Amirriahei having exercised discretion in customer accounts, placing trades without permission in violation of FINRA rules and the policies of Wells Fargo Advisors LLC.
