Jerome Krause; First Heartland Capital; Memomomee Falls, Wisconsin

Stoltmann Law Offices is investigating Jerome Krause, a former broker with First Heartland Capital. Krause has been ordered by the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) to pay $600,000 in damages to an elderly couple after he allegedly took money from them. Both of his clients were in their 80s and claimed Krause used his position of trust and their vulnerability as elderly, to take more than $150,000 from them, saying the money would be loans. Allegedly, Krause ended up borrowing more than $150,000 from 2010 until 2014, liquidating some of their investments so he could finance the loans. This was done without the couple’s knowledge or consent. It was also alleged that First Heartland Capital, Krause’s broker-dealer, failed to supervise him, allowing him to steal the money. Krause was also accused of borrowing from another client by liquidating a variable annuity. Krause was terminated from the firm in 2012 after this accusation. It is for these reasons that First Heartland Capital may be responsible for any money losses you may have suffered because of Mr. Krause.
