Suing J. Randall Gladden for Selling Away Claims

Stoltmann Law Offices is investigating J. Randall Gladden, who recently entered into a Disciplinary Proceeding with the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA). He is accused of selling away, which is when a broker offers and/or sells a security that is not offered by his member firm. In Gladden’s case, he was registered with Securities Equity Group as a broker and allegedly conceived of and participated in the sales of securities for the Church Development Fund, LLC. The fund was used to make loans to churches, primarily for refinancing their existing real estate loans. From May 2011 until September 2013, Gladden solicited seven investors to invest more than $2.1 million in the fund through their securities purchases. For the sale of these securities, Gladden received an “operator fee.” If you invested money with J. Randall Gladden, you may be able to recover your investment losses by calling our law offices in Chicago.

Gladden was registered with Securities America Inc. in Lavista, Nebraska from August 1995 until May 1997 and Securities Service Network in Knoxville, Tennessee from May 1997 until February 2002. He is currently registered with Securities Equity Group in El Cajon, California and has been since April 2002. He has two customer disputes against him, according to his online public FINRA BrokerCheck report.
