William Tunink Fired by LPL Financial

Allegations Against William Tunink

According to FINRA’s BrokerCheck, LPL Financial fired Tunink in September 2025 regarding allegations that he “Failed to disclose and receive prior approval for loans from customers; and settled a customer complaint away from the Firm”. Generally, advisors cannot borrow money from customers without prior firm approval and under limited circumstances, under FINRA Rule 3270. The termination was triggered after a customer complained to LPL Financial about a loan not being paid back.

Since then, Bill Tunink has been the subject of a second customer complaint. The customer alleged that he sold them “Investment Units” and entered into a “Silent Partner Agreement”. Advisors are not allowed to sell investment products that are not approved by their firm, under FINRA Rule 3280.

William Tunink was licensed with LPL Financial from October 2021 to September 2025 at a West Des Moines, Iowa office. He was also previously licensed with Avantax Investment Services, and was also part of a tax and bookkeeping firm called Tunink Murray Financial Group.
