Complaints and Disclosures: Investor Red Flags
While many financial advisors maintain a clean record throughout their careers, it is important to review any disclosures for customer disputes, complaints, or regulatory actions. Elijah Goble’s publicly available FINRA records show two investor complaints:
| Date Filed | Allegation | Status/Outcome | Damages |
|---|---|---|---|
| October 2025 | Improper handling of customer’s account as representative of Citigroup Global Markets. | Pending | $276,189.47 (alleged) |
| 2022 | Recommendation of an “extremely risky investment” for a client who requested conservative investments. | Settled | $20,236 |
What Do These Complaints Mean?
The largest pending complaint, filed in October 2025, accuses Mr. Goble of improperly handling a customer’s account, with the investor seeking over $276,000 in damages. The specifics of the alleged misconduct are not detailed, but this amount represents a significant claim. The earlier 2022 complaint alleges that he recommended an investment strategy involving substantial risk to a customer who had requested his funds be handled conservatively. This was resolved through a settlement of $20,236.
While any customer dispute allegation is notable and should prompt review, these recorded complaints can serve as a red flag for both current and prospective clients. It’s important to remember that not all complaints result in findings of wrongdoing; however, two substantial disputes in a relatively short timeframe warrant further scrutiny.
What FINRA Rules May Be at Issue?
As an investor, you should be aware of industry standards for broker conduct:
- FINRA Rule 2010: Requires brokers to “observe high standards of commercial honor and just and equitable principles of trade.”
- FINRA Rule 2111: States advisors must have a reasonable basis to believe that their recommendations are suitable for the client, based on their investment profile.
If proven, violations of these rules could entitle investors to compensation for losses incurred as a result of unsuitable investment recommendations.
Other Regulatory or Legal Actions?
Our research—including FINRA BrokerCheck, the SEC’s enforcement database, and federal court records—shows no reported disciplinary actions, SEC enforcement cases, or lawsuits against Elijah Goble as of November 22, 2025. There are no reported bankruptcies, civil judgments, or regulatory penalties associated with his record. However, it’s important to note that customer complaint records can change and additional complaints or legal developments may arise in the future.
