Investors, brace yourselves for a potential shocker. A serious allegation has emerged that could send ripples through the financial industry. A customer dispute is currently pending, with the claimant alleging that he was misled by Citigroup Global Markets, Inc. (CGMI) and their financial advisor, Steven Work, in March 2021.
The Allegation in Layman’s Terms

The claimant asserts that he sold shares of an equity short, assured by CGMI through Steven Work that the margin requirement would be 50%. However, a margin call was executed a few days after the trade at 100% of the claimant’s position. This resulted in losses exceeding $150,000. The claimant alleges that he was denied time to effect a cash cover to avoid the margin call, leading to this substantial loss.
The claimant’s allegations include misrepresentation of the margin requirement, which CGMI, through its financial advisor, denies. This is a serious matter, considering the significant loss incurred by the claimant. The claimant’s case number is 23-01724.
