Wells Fargo Clearing Services, LLC broker Pasquale Capone (CRD# 2487767) faces a $600,000 customer complaint related to preferred stock losses. He has been registered with Wells Fargo Clearing Services, LLC in Woodbury, New York, since 2004.
According to public records, a former client of Wells Fargo Clearing Services, LLC and broker Pasquale Capone recently filed a FINRA arbitration claim alleging the broker overconcentrated their investments in high-risk securities, including preferred stocks.

The complaint alleges breach of fiduciary duty, negligence, and negligent supervision.
The complaint alleges that the broker recommended the client invest in Paramount Global, a preferred stock that lost 97% of its value. The broker also recommended the client also invest in Algonquin Power. The customer is seeking $600,000 in damages.
