Have you lost money with financial advisor Charles Taylor, Jodi Padgett, and John Farmer in Prescott, Arizona? We are looking into allegations made by FINRA (the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority) against Charles Edwin Taylor, Jodi Oyler Padgett, and John Lodge Farmer. FINRA suspended Taylor for six months and fined him $25,000; Padgett was fined $15,000 and ordered to requalify as a principal; and Farmer was fined $5,000. The fines were levied regarding allegations that Taylor, Padgett, and Farmer referred customers to purchase gold and silver coins through International Collector’s Association, without disclosing such to their former brokerage firm, Royal Alliance Associates.
Charles Taylor was a registered representative and financial advisor with Royal Alliance Associates from 1989 to January 2019. Jodi Padgett worked for Royal Alliance Associates from 1995 to January 2019, and John Farmer also worked for Royal Alliance Associates from 2011 to January 2019.
