Edward Jones - Financial Advisor: Brandon G Becnel (Investment Services) in Baton Rouge

During 4th of July this year, my family and I spent the day at a friend’s house, who happens to be neighbors with Brandon Becnel. As a business person myself, I must say I have never seen such a lack of professionalism… let alone just being a decent human being! Brandon Becnel had his freaking cameras pointing down from the upper level of his home, directly into a pool full of minors! I don’t know if he leaves them there to spy on the neighbors but that’s real creepy! Not only did he have cameras watching the neighbor's pool, but the Becnel’s also came up to the fence and cursed at the children while they played not more than 150 feet away. He continued to curse at the kids in a drunken slur as if they were adults or his own kids. Myself and other parents at the gathering were furious that our kids had to hear this from a grown man yelling from the fence like he had lost his mind, but we collectively decided not to engage in a back and forth battle with him because I didn’t know his state of mind. On the way home, my 6-year-old daughter asked why they came to the fence and said bad words to them while they played. I could only say that they have no class and must be truly miserable people. I learned who he was after speaking with several friends in the neighborhood. The family that hosted the event was so embarrassed, I didn’t even want to approach them about the situation after we left. I cannot believe anyone would trust Brandon Becnel with any type of business, let alone an investment. Brandon Becnel has continued to show over the years of my visits to his neighbors that he is unstable and just creepy. I truly hope anyone reading this does not do business with these horrible people. I really hope he gets help and finds peace because this is not safe for anyone. 07/16/2024 1:51 am, Jacob Freeman
