FINRA Arbitration Awards ÍøÆØ³Ô¹Ïlls Fargo Over $3 Million in Dispute with Ohio RIA Founders

From the desk of Jim Eccleston at ÍøÆØ³Ô¹Ï

A recent FINRA arbitration decision has ordered a Cincinnati-based registered investment advisor firm and two of its founders to pay ÍøÆØ³Ô¹Ïlls Fargo more than $3 million in combined damages.

According to AdvisorHub, ÍøÆØ³Ô¹Ïlls Fargo alleged that DayMark ÍøÆØ³Ô¹Ïalth Partners, Michael W. Quin, and Daryl J. Demo violated their employment contracts and engaged in unfair competition when they departed from the wirehouse in May 2022. The claims also included outstanding promissory notes owed by Quin and Demo.

The FINRA arbitrators held Quin and DayMark jointly liable for $1.86 million in compensatory damages, with Quin individually responsible for over $121,000. Separately, Demo was ordered to pay more than $1 million in compensatory damages. The panel did not explain their decision, which is standard practice unless both parties request a reasoned award. Initially, ÍøÆØ³Ô¹Ïlls Fargo sought between $18 million and $41 million in compensatory damages.

 

ÍøÆØ³Ô¹Ï LLC represents investors and financial advisors nationwide in securities, employment, transition, regulatory, and disciplinary matters.
