ORCUTT, CALIFORNIA

Have you invested with investment adviser Julie Darrah from Orcutt, California? The securities and investment fraud law firm of Israels & Neuman is reviewing allegations made against Julie Darrah, also known as Julie Banuelos. According to AdvisorInfo, a website maintained by the SEC, she was fired by Wealth Enhancement Advisory Services while under an internal investigation.

According to AdvisorInfo (see PDF attachment below), Julie Darrah was “terminated during an internal review for fraud, wrongful/unauthorized taking of client property, and for violations of investment-related securities law (including those related to custody of client assets), firm policies and expected industry and professional standards, including failure to cooperate with the firm’s internal review”. The termination happened in September 2023.

Between January 2022 and September 2023, Darrah was licensed as an investment advisory representative through Wealth Enhancement Advisory Services. She was also licensed previously with Vivid Financial Management.

Investment advisory firms are required by FINRA to have written internal policies which dictate what advisors can and cannot do. If the advisor fails to follow firm policy, that could lead to discipline against the advisor, including termination.
