Stoltmann Law Offices is investigating Lee R. Sobel, a former broker with Equinox Securities. The Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) is seeking to bar Sobel from the industry after allegations were made that he sold private placements in Opportunity Drilling & Acquisition Fund (ODAF) which is an oil and gas investment product. The sale of private placements, also referred to as “selling away” is when a registered representative makes securities recommendations to clients that are not held or offered by his brokerage firm. This is a violation of securities regulations.
Sobel was registered with Direct Equities, West-Rim Securities in Glendale, California, Financial Network Investment Corporation, Buttonwood Securities Inc in New York, New York, Equity Financial Services in Los Angeles, California, Wellington Ashford Capital, Inc. in Louisvile, Colorado, Spectrum Securities Inc. in Aurora Hills, California and Equinox Securities in Redlands California until August 2013. He is not currently registered with any FINRA member firm, nor is he licensed within the industry. He has one customer dispute against him.
