ERIC ANTHONY DUPRE (CRD#: 2174456), a  formerly registered representative for AMERIPRISE FINANCIAL SERVICES, LLC in San Antonio, TX, has an investor complaint demanding over four million dollars.  According to Dupre‘s FINRA BrokerCheck report, Ameriprise Financial received a letter outlining the customer claims which include that former advisor Dupre “stole” money from the claimants to make cryptocurrency investments.  The claimants also alleged that the broker made unsuitable investment recommendations.

The customers are requesting $3,011,476.00 for alleged damages.

Ameriprise Financial terminated Dupre before the customer complaint was filed with FINRA.

Without admitting or denying the findings, Dupre consented to the sanction and to the entry of findings that he borrowed at least $2,236,000 from two customers without providing prior notice to, or obtaining written approval from, his member firm. The findings stated that Dupre borrowed $65,000 from a married couple, who were his customers, which Dupre repaid. Dupre also borrowed at least $2,171,000 through a series of loans from a different customer. At the time he loaned the funds to Dupre, the customer was 77 years old. Dupre told the customer that he would pay back the principal of the loan plus an additional amount. Dupre needed the loans because he was experiencing financial difficulties. To loan a significant portion of the funds to Dupre, the customer borrowed funds on margin from his account, which the customer transferred to a personal bank account before loaning to Dupre. As a result, the customer incurred substantial margin debt. Given his financial circumstances at the time he borrowed the money from the customer, Dupre did not have a reasonable expectation of repaying the loans, and to date, Dupre has not repaid any portion of the funds loaned to him by the customer.
