The Wolper Law Firm, P.A. is currently investigating claims against Roger Kroeger, a former Financial Advisor at Invest Financial Corporation in Ft. Lauderdale, FL. Roger Kroeger has been in the securities industry since the 1980s.
According to publicly available records released by the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA), in November 2017, Roger Kroeger was terminated by Invest Financial Corp. after he admitted facilitating a loan for his sister out of the account of an elderly client. The misappropriation of assets from an elderly client’s account also formed the basis of a customer complaint, which was settled for $206,000, and resulted in criminal prosecution for elder abuse.

Elder abuse is a growing problem in the financial services industry given the aging baby boomer population. Most states, including Florida, have enacted new legislation to address this issue. Banks are required to freeze accounts if elder financial abuse is suspected and compliance departments on high alert for rogue brokers, like Roger Kroeger.
