CRD#: 4182416
A recent customer complaint is raising concerns for investors who worked with or were advised by Thomas John “TJ” Shopa Jr., a registered broker and investment adviser with EQUITABLE ADVISORS, LLC.
According to FINRA records, a customer filed a dispute in 2025 alleging that Shopa recommended unsuitable investments, including a variable annuity and a real estate investment trust (REIT).
The claim seeks approximately $2.2 million in damages and highlights potential issues involving high-risk or illiquid products. While the matter remains pending, allegations of unsuitable recommendations can signal broader concerns about an advisor’s due-diligence process and risk disclosures.
Investors who believe they may have suffered losses or received unsuitable investment recommendations from Shopa are encouraged to contact Goodman & Nekvasil, P.A. at 800-500-4442 to discuss potential recovery options.
