There are options for customers of W&S Brokerage Services, Inc. broker Ronald Daley (CRD# 4682165)? Ronald Daley was registered with W&S Brokerage Services, Inc. in West Chester, Ohio from 2009 to 2021, when he was terminated regarding, “W&SBS terminated his registration after W&S Life (“WSLIC” approved outside business activity) terminated his employment upon discovery that he violated WSLIC policies by failing to meet reporting requirements under WSLIC policy (not U4 or securities related). Prior to termination, there was also a complaint made on behalf of an elderly customer through her Power of Attorney alleging conversion of funds withdrawn from life insurance and fixed annuities between September 2015 to February 2020. These alleged actions of the representative are still under review for any signs of misconduct or inappropriate activity related to the customer complaint.”
