AllState Alleges “Loss of Confidence”
On September 24, 2024, AllState Financial Services fired Mr. Barrack. According to a disclosure on his BrokerCheck profile, the firm terminated his registration after a “loss of confidence.” The loss of confidence stemmed from allegations that he obtained “only the signature page of a document” from a customer. As the disclosure explains further, he allegedly completed “the remainder of the document without the customer’s knowledge.” Finally, the firm alleged that he violated the firm’s policies “regarding off-channel electronic communications.”
2001 Dispute Settled by Firm
Mr. Barrack’s professional history also includes an investor dispute settled by his former member firm. In January 2001, an investor specifically lodged allegations that he purchased an investment in “PMCS” contrary to instructions to purchase “PCOM.” The dispute also alleged that the customer “should not have been charged margin interest.” His former member firm settled the dispute for $47,537.75.
AllState Financial’s Disciplinary History
AllState Financial Services, Mr. Barrack’s former member firm, has been involved in four regulatory events, according to its BrokerCheck profile. In July 2023, for example, the Maine Office of Securities fined the firm $2,500 following allegations that it failed to conduct five onsite branch examinations in 2022. In 2016, FINRA sanctioned the firm following allegations, among others, that it failed to supervise communications and transactions. Among other things, this sanction alleged that the firm did not determine whether recommendations were suitable for certain customers. It also alleged that the firm paid commissions to unregistered persons. As a result, it censured AllState Financial and ordered it to pay a fine of $1,000,000.
