The Canada-based trader claims that RBC Dominion Securities and his advisers failed to provide adequate risk mitigation advice, which led to a series of devastating financial decisions.<\/p>\n<p>DeVocht\u2019s portfolio reached its peak on Nov. 30, 2021, but as Tesla\u2019s stock price plummeted in 2022, so did his wealth. He was forced to sell Tesla shares and repay loans from a margin account, causing his investments to collapse. DeVocht argues that RBC and his tax adviser from Grant Thornton LLP were responsible for helping him preserve his wealth, but their alleged failure to provide proper financial planning advice contributed to his downfall.<\/p>\n<p><em>Might interest you: <a href=\"https:\/\/coinengineer.net\/blog\/what-is-babydoge\/\">What is BabyDoge?<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n<p>In his lawsuit, filed in the Supreme Court of British Columbia, DeVocht seeks damages, legal costs, and interest, claiming that his advisers\u2019 actions resulted in the total loss of his net worth.
