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

Vitthal Patel CRD #1775477

Vitthal Patel was a formerly licensed financial advisor with PFS Investments, Inc. FINRA reports that Vitthal Patel was fined $5,000 and suspended from the securities industry for six months in August 2019.

According to FINRA Allegations:

Vitthal Patel consented to the sanctions and to the entry of findings that Vitthal Patel forged electronic signatures of customers on new managed account documents by forging the customer’s name electronically on the forms and electronically signing applications in place of the customer. The findings stated that one customer did not consent to the change. In addition, Vitthal Patel forged handwritten signatures of customers on other account-related documents, including a change of address form and a 529-college savings plan transfer form, and beneficiary change forms by cutting and pasting photocopied customer signatures. The member firm required Vitthal Patel to obtain original customer signatures in order to confirm that the customer provided written permission and authority for the change. Vitthal Patel submitted the forged documents to the firm for processing as if he had obtained the actual signatures from the customers. Vitthal Patel’s conduct impacted customers of his firm.
