Allegedly, Protected Investors was fined by the NASD in 2001 for allowing one of their employees to act as a broker, while his registration was inactive. A Protected Investors broker, Robert M.

Another broker, Malena R. Yatim, had a $13,000 civil judgment/lien placed against her in 2008. Finally, Russel Wayne Ketron, a broker with the company had a customer complaint against him in 2005. Ketron was also named as a co-defendant in a Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) civil action regarding the sale of gold coins.
