He currently holds no state securities licenses.

Unauthorized Use of Client Login Credentials

According to his BrokerCheck report[1], he has received one regulatory sanction, four settled customer complaints, and two pending customer complaints. Records show he was also discharged from his position at NYLife Securities in December 2020 in connection to allegations of unauthorized trading. According to this disclosure, he allegedly advised his customers to open brokerage accounts at another firm, and then “using their log in information, he traded securities held in those brokerage accounts.”

In September 2021 FINRA sanctioned him in connection to findings he failed to respond to the regulator’s requests for information. He was consequently suspended from associating with any FINRA member in any capacity until he either provides the requested information or the suspension converts to a bar.
