Robert Crothers: Osaic Advisor Faces Suitability Complaint

Holbrook, New York financial advisor Robert Crothers (CRD# 1648677) recently received an investor complaint alleging that his advice resulted in damages. Financial Industry Regulatory Authority records show that he is registered as a broker and an investment advisor with Osaic Wealth, having previously been registered with American Portfolios Financial Services.

Mr. Crothers’ BrokerCheck report discloses one investor complaint. Filed in July 2024, it alleges that as a representative of American Portfolios Financial Services, he recommended an unsuitable “high-risk private placement.” The pending complaint alleges unspecified damages.
