Gianchiglia has been the subject of six customer complaints between 2003 and 2019, one of which was closed without action and one was denied, according to his CRD report. Recent cases are regarding:
- November 2019. “FINRA arbitration 19-03388 in which the claimants allege misrepresentation in the sale of private placement.” The customer is seeking $200,000 in damages and the case is currently pending. The complaint took place while Gianchiglia was registered with Ameritas Investment Corp. and was regarding private placements.
