JAMES COUTURE of LPL Now Charged With WITNESS TAMPERING

Israels & Neuman, PLC

WORCESTER, MASSACHUSETTS

Things continue to get worse for former LPL financial advisor James Couture. Couture was previously criminally charged with defrauding investors in 2021 by the U.S. Attorney’s Office in Massachusetts. Now, additional criminal charges of witness tampering have been added.

Couture was told by prosecutors not to have any contact with his investment fraud victims. However, it was alleged that he tried to convince one of his victims that he never stole their money and was still investing it. The witness tampering charges stem from contact that Mr. Couture had with a victim between June and December 2021. It was alleged that he presented fake documents to the victim to demonstrate that the money was allegedly invested, but it was not an authentic document.

LPL Financial had a duty to reasonably supervise James Couture’s conduct while he was registered with LPL Financial. Couture had been a representative of LPL Financial from 2009 to July 2020. He was also previously barred from the securities industry by FINRA. Couture lived in Sutton, Massachusetts but worked in an office in Worcester.
