Can you recover losses due to investments with former Hilltop Securities Independent Network Inc. broker Richard Cagle (CRD# 2122648)? Cagle was registered with Hilltop Securities Independent Network Inc. in Corpus Christi, Texas from 1997 to 2019.
In July 2019, Cagle was barred by FINRA after he consented to the sanction and to the entry of findings that he refused to appear and provide an on-the-record testimony requested by FINRA, when it commenced an investigation into whether he violated FINRA rules by making unsuitable investment recommendations and mismarking customer order tickets while associated with his former member firm.
Cagle has been the subject of two customer complaints between 2018 and 2019, according to his CRD report:
