- Customer Dispute: The complaint centers on Zink’s alleged failure to confirm the accredited investor status of the client’s entity. He asserts that the client initially confirmed ownership and accredited status, but it was later discovered that the client owned the investment through an irrevocable trust, which required higher asset thresholds.
