Have you lost money with financial advisor Benjamin Lowder from Charlotte, North Carolina?  We are looking into allegations made by FINRA (the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority) against Benjamin B. Lowder, Jr. FINRA barred Lowder from the securities industry after he failed to respond to an investigation.  Lowder was being investigated after he was the subject of numerous customer complaints.  The complaints allege that Lowder was involved in Rick Siskey’s Ponzi scheme.  Siskey was alleged to have sold fraudulent investments in TSI Holdings, SouthPark Partners, WSC Holdings, and Sharon Road Properties.
