Common Themes Among the Complaints
Although every client’s experience is unique, all disclosures involving Jason Douglas Stone center on alternative investment products, suitability of recommendations, and breach of fiduciary duty. The majority feature claims of misrepresentation, omission of important facts, and—in some cases—alleged failures to oversee transactions properly or provide appropriate supervision.
Key issues consistently raised by claimants include:
- Breach of fiduciary duty—failing to act in the client’s best interest
- Lack of investment suitability—recommending complex or risky products not appropriate for the client’s needs or risk tolerance
- Misrepresentation and omissions—not fully disclosing risks and material information
- Overconcentration—placing too much of a client’s portfolio in a single type of alternative investment
- Inadequate supervision—especially surrounding alternative products
Two pending claims involve substantial requested damages, including one for $2,000,000. In the settled case, the client allegedly received $157,500 (greater than the initial claim of $100,000).
