$9.1 Million Complaint Filed Against Jay Hershey.
JAY ALLEN HERSHEY
CRD#: 2576608
Goodman & Nekvasil, P.A. Investigates Allegations Involving Broker Thomas Gary Justice.
JAY ALLEN HERSHEY (CRD#: 2576608), a registered broker with Piper Sandler & Co., is the subject of a pending customer dispute, according to FINRA BrokerCheck records. The complaint, filed in June 2023, alleges that Hershey mishandled the sale of company stock by selling unvested shares that were still subject to transfer restrictions. As a result, the claimant contends they lost the opportunity to sell at a much higher market price, and the damages sought in this case total an estimated $9.1 million. These serious allegations raise concerns of potential violations of FINRA rules governing suitability, due diligence, and proper handling of client accounts.
