<p><strong>LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA</strong>
<strong> </strong>Have you lost money with financial advisor Efrain Trujillo, formerly with Western International Securities in Los Angeles, California?  We are looking into allegations made against Efrain Trujillo.  Trujillo was discharged from <a href="https://brokercheck.finra.org/firm/summary/39262" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Western International Securities</a> regarding allegations that he borrowed money from a customer.  Generally, advisors cannot borrow money from customers, with limited exceptions.</p>


<p>Efrain Trujillo was with Western International Securities from August 2017 to October 2021.  He was also with Financial West Group from June 2012 to August 2017.  He has worked at branch offices in Los Angeles, California.  Efrain has also been the subject of a customer complaint in 2016, and he was also barred in a principal capacity from FINRA in 2020.</p>


<p>Brokerage firms like Western International Securities have a responsibility to adequately supervise all representatives who are registered through their firm.  Brokerage firms also must take steps to ensure that their financial advisors follow all securities rules and regulations, as well as internal firm policies.  When brokerage firms <a href="/practice-areas/failure-to-supervise/" rel="noopener" target="_blank"><strong>fail to adequately supervise</strong> </a>their registered representatives, they may be liable for investment losses sustained by customers.</p>
