Wells Fargo Advisors, LLC aka Wells Fargo Clearing Services, LLC (CRD #19616, St. Louis, Missouri) was fined $175,000 and censured due to an alleged lack of oversight and excessive trading on clients accounts. 

FINRA findings found that the firm was allegedly “failed to reasonably supervise a former registered representative who excessively traded equity positions in accounts belonging to an elderly customer” (FINRA March 2020 Disciplinary Actions). An elderly lady’s investment resulted in over $300,000 in commissions and other fees. Although the firm’s software did flag the activity, the firm did not reasonably address the situation. The client filed a complaint and the firm paid $1,000,000 in restitution to her.
