<p><br>A Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) arbitration panel has awarded approximately $9.5 million in compensatory damages plus interest to a group of investors represented by Aaron Israels of the securities Israels & Neuman, PLC, following claims against A.G. Morgan Financial Advisors, LLC and its principals, Vincent Jerome Camarda and James Edward McArthur.</p>



<p>The final arbitration award was issued on January 28, 2026.</p>



<p><a href="/static/2026/01/FINRA-Award-AG-Morgan-Israels-Neuman.pdf"><strong>View the Arbitration Award Here</strong></a> </p>



<h1 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-claims-brought-on-behalf-of-multiple-investors">Claims Brought on Behalf of Multiple Investors</h1>



<p>The investors, represented by Israels & Neuman, PLC, asserted claims including <a href="https://www.israelsneuman.com/practice-areas/breach-of-fiduciary/">breach of fiduciary duty</a>, failure to supervise, negligence, breach of contract, and <a href="https://www.israelsneuman.com/practice-areas/advisor-negligence-and-fraud/">violations of FINRA rules</a> arising from multiple securities investments.</p>



<h1 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-nearly-9-5-million-awarded-plus-ongoing-interest">Nearly $9.5 Million Awarded, Plus Ongoing Interest</h1>



<p>The arbitration award holds Camarda and A.G. Morgan jointly and severally liable for the majority of the damages, with McArthur and A.G. Morgan jointly liable for a smaller portion.</p>



<p>Individual investor awards ranged from tens of thousands of dollars to more than $2.5 million, with interest accruing daily until the amounts are fully paid. In total, the panel awarded $9,494,007 in compensatory damages, along with costs and fees. All but one of the investors represented recovered damages in the case.</p>



<h1 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-media-coverage-highlights-pattern-of-misconduct">Media Coverage Highlights Pattern of Misconduct</h1>



<p>The arbitration decision was reported by <a href="https://www.financialadvisoriq.com/c/5080894/709934?referrer_module=searchSubFromFAIQ&highlight=Aaron%20Israels">Financial Advisor IQ</a>, which noted that A.G. Morgan and its principals have lost multiple arbitration cases in recent months, resulting in millions of dollars in awards to investors.</p>



<p>The report further noted that Camarda has failed to pay multiple prior arbitration awards or settlements, and that the respondents are defendants in an ongoing SEC enforcement action alleging the sale of unregistered securities to hundreds of investors.</p>

<h1 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-frequently-asked-questions">Frequently Asked Questions</h1>



<p><strong>What is FINRA arbitration?</strong><br>FINRA arbitration is a dispute resolution process used to resolve disputes between investors and brokerage firms or investment advisers. Arbitration decisions are final and binding.</p>



<p><strong>What does “joint and several liability” mean?</strong><br>Joint and several liability means each responsible party can be held liable for the full amount of the damages awarded, regardless of how responsibility is divided among them.</p>



<p><strong>Why did the panel enter a default judgment?</strong><br>The panel entered a default judgment after the respondents failed to comply with discovery obligations and failed to appear at scheduled hearings.</p>



<p><strong>Does winning a FINRA arbitration guarantee recovery?</strong><br>No. While an arbitration award establishes liability, investors may still face challenges collecting the awarded amounts, particularly when respondents have a history of unpaid awards.</p>



<p><strong>How can investors determine whether they have a claim?</strong><br>Investors who suffered losses due to unsuitable investments, misrepresentations, or supervision failures should consult with an experienced securities attorney to evaluate potential claims.</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-how-to-recover-your-losses"><strong>How to Recover Your Losses</strong></h2>



<p>Did you invest in First Liberty Building & Loan with Timothy Nathaniel Darnell, also known as Nathaniel Darnell, of Bankers Life Securities? The law firm of Israels & Neuman is looking into allegations involving this advisor, who formerly was a representative with Bankers Life Securities and worked in an Atlanta, Georgia office.&nbsp; Darnell was fired in September 2025 by both Bankers Life Securities and Bankers Life Advisory Services.&nbsp; He primarily goes by his middle name, Nathaniel.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-allegations-regarding-nathaniel-darnell"><strong>Allegations Regarding Nathaniel Darnell</strong></h2>



<p>FINRA’s BrokerCheck discloses that Timothy Nathaniel Darnell was fired by Bankers Life Securities for the following: “1. Failure to disclose outside business activities (OBA), 2. Participation in undisclosed and unapproved private securities transactions (PST), 3. Use of off-channel communications with clients and not following firm policies and procedures related to such.”&nbsp; Under FINRA Rule 3280, financial advisors must get prior approval from their firm to sell any investment.</p>



<p>This termination was likely triggered by a customer complaint that was made in September 2025.  The customer alleged losses of $1,000,000 from investments in First Liberty Building & Loan.  The customer alleged that First Liberty Building & Loan was a <strong><a href="https://www.israelsneuman.com/practice-areas/advisor-negligence-and-fraud/ponzi-schemes-and-selling-away/">PONZI Scheme</a></strong> run by Edwin Brant Frost IV.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-background-on-timothy-nathaniel-darnell"><strong>Background on Timothy Nathaniel Darnell</strong></h2>



<p>Nathaniel Darnell was licensed with Bankers Life Securities from August 2016 to September 2025 at a Atlanta, Georgia office.&nbsp; &nbsp;He also sold insurance through Bankers Life, and he was also affiliated with Keith Cochran, CPA.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-is-bankers-life-securities-responsible-for-darnell-s-conduct"><strong>Is Bankers Life Securities Responsible for Darnell’s Conduct?</strong></h2>



<p>FINRA Rule 3110 states that securities broker-dealers like Bankers Life Securities must adequately monitor the activity of its advisors.&nbsp; Bankers Life Securities could be responsible for investor losses if it failed to reasonably supervise him.</p>

<p>Ms. Hayes was registered with Edward Jones from 2010 to April 2024 and worked in Lake Oswego, Oregon.  She also worked for Ameriprise from May 2024 to August 2024.</p>

<p>
CHICAGO, ILLIONOIS     Did you invest with financial advisor Howard Kavinsky in Chicago, Illinois? Israels & Neuman is reviewing claims made by FINRA against Howard Kavinsky, who was a representative of B. Riley Wealth Management and National Securities Corp.  Near the end of 2024, he was barred from the securities brokerage industry by <a href="http://www.finra.org" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">FINRA</a> regarding numerous allegations.</p>


<p>FINRA alleged that this advisor created consolidated reports that contained false information, including overstating account balances.  The consolidated reports also showed investments in a purported hedge fund, even though Kavinsky did not invest the customers’ money in a hedge fund.  He also allegedly provided false information to FINRA as part of its investigation.</p>


<p>Howard Kavinsky was registered with National Securities Corp. from July 2019 to July 2022 and with B. Riley Wealth Management from July 2022 to June 2024 and worked in Chicago, Illinois.  He was also the subject of several liens, settlements, and compromises with creditors between 2017 and 2019.</p>


<p>Broker-dealers like B. Riley Wealth Management and National Securities Corp. must reasonably monitor its advisors.  If the firm fails to do so, they could be liable for investor losses.</p>


<p>Israels & Neuman have an office in Chicago.  Attorneys Aaron Israels and David Neuman are both licensed to practice law in Illinois and the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Illinois.  Mr. Neuman grew up in the Chicago area and went to the University of Illinois.</p>

<h1 class="wp-block-heading"><strong> </strong><strong>Sherwin Sargeant, Formerly with Planmember Securities, Barred from Securities Industry</strong></h1>


<p>
<strong>ORLANDO, FLORIDA     </strong>Did you invest in crypto with financial advisor Sherwin Sargeant in Orlando, Florida? Israels & Neuman is looking into claims made by FINRA against this advisor, who was an affiliate of Planmember Securities.  He was barred from the securities brokerage industry by <strong><a href="http://www.finra.org" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">FINRA</a> </strong>after refusing to cooperate with a FINRA investigation.</p>


<p>FINRA’s Letter of Acceptance, Waiver, and Consent (AWC) alleges that Sargeant was being investigated for undisclosed outside business activities.  In particular, FINRA was looking into his involvement with <a href="/practice-areas/advisor-negligence-and-fraud/unsuitable-investments-and-reg-bi/" rel="noopener" target="_blank"><strong>crypto investments</strong></a>.  He then refused to comply with FINRA.</p>


<p>Sherwin Sargeant was registered with Planmember Securities from December 2019 to July 2023.  He worked in Orlando, Florida.  He also operated his own business called Retirement Planning Associates.</p>


<p>Planmember Securities has an obligation to reasonably monitor their financial advisors.  If the firm fails to do so, they could be liable for investor losses.  Attorney David Neuman is licensed to practice law in Florida, and we have represented over 1,000 investors against brokerage firms.</p>

<h1 class="wp-block-heading"><strong> </strong><strong>Kenneth Judd, Formerly with Valkyrie Equities, Barred from Securities Industry</strong></h1>


<p>
<strong>FARMERS BRANCH, TEXAS     </strong>Did you invest with financial advisor Kenneth Judd in Farmers Branch, Texas? Our securities arbitration law firm is looking into claims made against this advisor, who previously worked for Valkyrie Equities.  He was expelled from the securities brokerage industry by <a href="http://www.finra.org" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">FINRA</a> after he refused to cooperate with a FINRA investigation.</p>


<p>Mr. Judd was allowed to resign by Valkyrie Equities in December 2023, regarding allegations of  his “knowingly breaking escrow when funds were not raised and questions being raised around two key violations” in connection with the sale of a Reg. D or private offering.  That led to the investigation by FINRA.</p>


<p>Kenneth Joseph Judd was registered with Valkyrie Equities from May 2019 to December 2023.  He worked in Farmers Branch, Texas.</p>


<p>Securities brokerage firms have to properly supervise their financial advisors.  If the firm fails to do so, they could be liable for investor losses.  Our law firm has represented over 1,000 investors in the past, including numerous investors in Texas.</p>

<strong>BEVERLY HILLS, CALIFORNIA     </strong>Did you invest with financial advisor Robert Daly in Beverly Hills, California? Our securities arbitration law firm is looking into claims made against this advisor, who was previously registered with Morgan Stanley from February 2016 to March 2023.  He was expelled from the securities brokerage industry by <strong><a href="http://www.finra.org" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">FINRA</a> </strong>after he refused to cooperate with a FINRA investigation.</p>


<p>Robert Daly was the subject of two customer complaints made in July and September 2024.  FINRA also received a tip related to a possible undisclosed private securities transaction, which means that he may have sold investments that were <a href="/practice-areas/advisor-negligence-and-fraud/ponzi-schemes-and-selling-away/" rel="noopener" target="_blank"><strong>not authorized</strong></a> by Morgan Stanley.</p>


<p>Robert Anthony Daly was registered with Morgan Stanley, as well as with Xtellus Capital Partners.  He worked in Beverly Hills, California.  The September 2024 complaint alleges that he sold investments in First Republic Bank.</p>

<p>
<strong>PENNINGTON, NEW JERSEY     </strong>Were you a customer of financial advisor Elan Sanker? Israels & Neuman is looking into allegations against this advisor, who previously worked in Pennington, New Jersey.</p>


<p>Mr. Sanker was barred by <a href="https://www.finra.org/about/firms-we-regulate" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong>FINRA</strong></a> after he refused to respond to an investigation.  FINRA began its investigation when he was terminated by his brokerage firm, Merrill Lynch, in May 2023.  A customer filed a complaint in February 2023, alleging that he engaged in “<a href="/practice-areas/advisor-negligence-and-fraud/ponzi-schemes-and-selling-away/" rel="noopener" target="_blank"><strong>selling away</strong></a>” – selling investments that were not approved or authorized by the firm, which led to Sanker’s termination in May 2023, followed by FINRA’s investigation.</p>


<p>Elan Sanker was registered with Merrill Lynch from November 2018 to May 2023.  He also previously worked with Northwestern Mutual in Pennington, New Jersey.</p>


<p>Israels & Neuman has represented thousands of investors in the past, including investors in New Jersey.  Our firm has sued many brokerage firms throughout the country.</p>

<h1 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Gregory Corrie, Formerly with Cambridge Investment Research, Barred from Securities Industry</strong></h1>


<p>
<strong>BOISE, IDAHO     </strong>Were you a customer of financial advisor Gregory Corrie? The securities fraud law firm of Israels & Neuman is looking into allegations against Gregory Corrie, who previously worked with Cambridge Investment Research in Boise, Idaho.</p>


<p>In August 2024, he was barred by <a href="https://www.finra.org/investors/insights/regulated-by-FINRA" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong>FINRA</strong></a> after he refused to respond to an investigation.  FINRA was investigating Mr. Corrie after he was terminated by his brokerage firm, Cambridge Investment Research, in February 2023.  The brokerage firm terminated him regarding allegations of “<strong><a href="/practice-areas/advisor-negligence-and-fraud/unsuitable-investments-and-reg-bi/" rel="noopener" target="_blank">excessive use of UIT [Unit Investment Trust] products</a></strong>”, and later updated his disclosures, stating that Corrie made “remediation payments related to the trading activity”.</p>


<p>Gregory Corrie was registered with Cambridge Investment Research from January 2020 to March 2023.  He also previously worked with Cetera Advisors and worked in Boise, Idaho.  In addition, he was the subject of two tax liens in 2011 and 2013 respectively.</p>


<p>Israels & Neuman has represented thousands of investors in the past, including numerous investors in Idaho.  Our firm has successfully sued many brokerage firms throughout the country.</p>

<p>
<strong>BETHESDA, MARYLAND     </strong>Are you a former customer of financial advisor Courtney Smith from Bethesda, Maryland? The securities and investment fraud law firm of Israels & Neuman is reviewing allegations made against this advisor.  She was fired by Spire Securities Financial Services in March 2024 after it was alleged that she transferred funds from at least one client’s account, without authorization, to one of her own accounts.  Additionally, Ms. Smith is suspended by FINRA for refusing to respond to a <a href="https://www.finra.org/about#:~:text=FINRA%20FINANCIAL%20INDUSTRY%20REGULATORY%20AUTHORITY%20is%20authorized%20by%20Congress%20to,billions%20of%20daily%20market%20events." rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong>FINRA</strong></a> investigation.</p>


<p>Courtney Smith had been with Spire Securities from March 2022 to March 2024.  She also previously worked with Hightower Securities and worked in Bethesda, Maryland and McLean, Virginia.</p>


<p>Brokerage firms are required to have written supervisory and compliance procedures under securities rules and regulations.  If the brokerage firm <a href="/practice-areas/failure-to-supervise/" rel="noopener" target="_blank"><strong>failed to reasonably supervise</strong></a> their advisor, it may be held liable for customer losses.</p>


<p>Our investment fraud firm has represented numerous investors throughout Maryland and have sued dozens of brokerage firms in the past.</p>

<h1 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>FINRA Seeks to Bar Goodyear Advisor Chip Wodrich</strong></h1>


<p>
<strong><em>GOODYEAR, AZ     </em></strong>Did you invest with Charles Wodrich, formerly with Hornor Townsend & Kent in Goodyear, Arizona?  Our securities arbitration firm is looking into claims made by FINRA (the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority) against this advisor.  <strong><a href="http://www.finra.org/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">FINRA</a></strong> brought a complaint seeking to bar him from the securities industry.</p>


<p>FINRA began investigating Mr. Wodrich after he was terminated by Hornor Townsend & Kent.  It was alleged that he used an unapproved email address to communicate with clients; that he <strong><a href="/practice-areas/" rel="noopener" target="_blank">used discretion in customer accounts</a></strong>; and that he failed to timely forward a customer complaint.  Wodrich has yet to respond to FINRA’s complaint.</p>


<p>Charles Wodrich also known as “Chip”, had been an advisor with Hornor Townsend & Kent from 2013 to August 2022 in a Goodyear, Arizona office.  He has also been the subject of three customer complaints, the most recent of which was made in 2022.</p>


<p>FINRA Rule 8210 provides that advisors are required to respond to FINRA investigations.  Additionally, under FINRA’s supervisory rules, securities brokerage firms must adequately supervise their representatives.  If brokerage firms fail to provide sufficient supervision, the firms could be responsible for financial damages.</p>


<p>Our firm has an office in Phoenix, Arizona and regularly represents investors in the greater Phoenix area.  Moreover, attorney Aaron Israels is licensed to practice law in Arizona.
