Investor Alert: Customer Complaint Against James Claude Britt — Investors May Recover Losses
James Claude Britt (also known as J.C. Britt) — CRD #4523267 — currently registered with Morgan Stanley in Vero Beach, Florida, is listed in his “BrokerCheck” profile as facing a pending customer dispute filed on September 29, 2025 (Docket No. 25-02062). The complaint against James Claude Britt alleges that under his advisement, an options-trading strategy in trust accounts between January 2018 and May 2025 was unsuitable and misrepresented, violating the investor’s expectations and risk profile.
The client claims that Mr. Britt failed to align the investment strategy with the trust’s risk tolerance, failed to properly disclose the risks and mechanics of the options trades, and misled the account-holders about the potential downside. If you held investments recommended by Mr. Britt — especially involving options or complex derivatives in protected accounts or trust structures — you should carefully review all statements, trade confirmations, written communications and risk disclosures. You may have grounds to initiate recovery efforts through Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) arbitration.
