Have you lost money with financial advisor Bhenoy Dembla of Chicago, Illinois?  We are looking into allegations made by FINRA, the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, against Bhenoy “Ben” Dembla. FINRA barred Dembla from the securities industry regarding allegations that he entered and later cancelled 41 fictitious mutual fund trades in order to circumvent restrictions on Class B mutual fund shares owned by investors.   

Bhenoy Dembla was a financial advisor and registered representative of Merrill Lynch from 2001 to the present.  He worked at a branch office Chicago, Illinois.

Brokerage firms like Merrill Lynch have a responsibility to adequately supervise all representatives who are registered through their firm.  Brokerage firms also must take steps to ensure that their financial advisors follow all securities rules and regulations, as well as internal firm policies.  When brokerage firms fail to adequately supervise their registered representatives, they may be liable for investment losses sustained by customers.
