How to file a Complaint against Christopher Wimpfheimer
Did you suffer investment losses because of:
0 Disclosures Reported for Christopher Wimpfheimer
Christopher Wimpfheimer has 0 Disclosures. Can I still trust this broker?
The short answer is – NO. BrokerCheck is supposed to be a tool that helps investors research the professional backgrounds of brokers and brokerage firms. Customer complaints are important information that the SEC, FINRA, and state regulators advise investors to consider in researching a broker. BrokerCheck, however, does not reliably report customer complaints. Multiple reports show that the process that brokers use to expunge (erase) from CRD customer complaints that are supposedly irrelevant or unfair is no longer working properly.
BrokerCheck is broken.
Investors should not rely on BrokerCheck to research brokers until these problems are remedied. While the SEC, FINRA, state regulators and others direct investors to BrokerCheck to research brokers, BrokerCheck is no longer a reliable tool. BrokerCheck records are misleading.
If you believe you have suffered investment losses as a result of broker misconduct or fraud, contact an experienced investor protection attorney to determine whether you might be able to recover those losses, or go public.
