Eric Peter Burton – Financial Advisor/Broker Suspended from Securities Industry | Goodman & Nekvasil P.A., May Recover Investor Losses

Eric Peter Burton CRD #3113849

Eric Peter Burton is a licensed financial advisor/broker with Cetera Advisors LLC. Eric Peter Burton was previously licensed with LPL Financial LLC.

According to FINRA, Eric Peter Burton was fined $5,000 and suspended from the securities industry for 3 months in July 2021.

According to FINRA Allegations:

Burton consented to the sanctions and to the entry of findings that he falsified variable annuity replacement disclosure forms that he submitted to his member firm. The findings stated that on each form, Burton falsely stated that gaining a stepped-up death benefit was one of the reasons that the variable annuity exchange was suitable for the customer. In fact, as Burton knew, each variable annuity that was to be replaced had a stepped-up death benefit that, unbeknownst to his firm, was removed at his recommendation immediately prior to the time he recommended the variable annuity exchange. Burton recommended to his customers that the death benefits be removed from the existing variable annuities in order to make his recommended exchanges look to his firm as though they were more advantageous to the customer than they were, even though each of the forms identified other, accurate reasons why each exchange was suitable for the customer. The findings also stated that by falsifying the variable annuity forms, Burton caused his firm to maintain inaccurate books and records.
