FINRA Bars Rep for Unauthorized Trades for a Retiree

From the Desk of Jim Eccleston at Eccleston Law LLC:

FINRA has barred former registered representative, Craig David Dima from the securities industry for making unauthorized and unsuitable trades. Mr. Dima neither admitted nor denied the charges, but consented to FINRA’s findings and sanction.

FINRA allegedly found that Mr. Dima sold virtually all of the customer's Colgate-Palmolive stock, without his customer’s permission.  Mr. Dima’s customer was a retiree who accumulated over 28 years of employment at Colgate-Palmolive. The customer considered the stock to be a valuable long-term investment and a reliable source of dividends. Mr. Dima charged his customer more than $375,000 in mark-ups, mark-downs and fees and his customer lost approximately $127,000 in dividends that he would have received from the Colgate-Palmolive stock.
