FINRA Cracks Down on “Cockroaches”
From the Desk of Jim Eccleston at Eccleston Law LLC:
FINRA has cracked down on a group of brokers who have jumped from one risky firm to another while simultaneously committing securities violations. The group of 10 employees, including a president of a now defunct corporation, has all been barred from the securities industry.
The 10 barred brokers were from a now defunct New York City-based broker-dealer, Global Arena Capital Corp, where FINRA said brokers were using misleading sales pitches, churning accounts and committing various other abuses.
The case is an example of a practice known as “cockroaching”, in which brokers are able to stay in the securities industry by moving between risky or expelled firms while committing securities violations.
