Rhett Bedwell – Financial Advisor/Broker Rhett Bedwell Barred by FINRA | Goodman & Nekvasil, P.A. May Recover Investor Losses
Rhett Bedwell a/k/a Rhett Douglas Bedwell CRD #5664392
Rhett Bedwell a/k/a Rhett Douglas Bedwell was a previously licensed financial advisor with LPL Financial LLC and Arvest Wealth Management. According to FINRA, Rhett Bedwell was barred by FINRA in March 2021.
According to FINRA:
Bedwell consented to the sanction and to the entry of findings that he refused to produce information and documents requested by FINRA during the course of its review of an amended Form U5 filed by his former member firm. The findings stated that the Form U5 disclosed that Bedwell had been identified in a pending customer arbitration alleging that he moved a client’s IRA to a different administrator and used forged documentation to invest the claimant’s money in a Ponzi scheme. Although Bedwell provided some of the information and documents requested by FINRA, he failed to respond to certain of the requests.
Arbitration Claim Filed
An Arkansas retiree has filed a Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) arbitration claim against LPL Financial for losses he suffered because of the unsuitable recommendation of Rhett Douglas Bedwell, one of the broker-dealer’s former registered representatives. Bedwell, who is no longer a stockbroker or investment advisor, is accused of defrauding a number of customers.
Now, this retiree is seeking up to $500K in investment loss damages after Bedwell invested a significant portion of his retirement funds in what appears to have been a Ponzi scam involving Small World Capital and the now defunct, Graysail Capital.
