A recent New York Times article shined the spotlight on another sad tale of a stockbroker who mishandled his clients’ accounts.
According to the article, stockbroker Jerry A. Cicolani Jr. was the subject of 69 customer complaints over the course of 13 years before he was finally barred from the industry by FINRA in September 2014. The SEC has also sued Mr. Cicolani for his role in a Ponzi scheme, and the FBI also charged Mr. Cicolani for selling unregistered securities, causing 39 investors to lose roughly $7 million, according to the article. Numerous customers have filed claims against Cicolani that are currently pending in FINRA arbitration.
Fishman Haygood attorneys have successfully represented numerous investors against their stockbrokers and their brokerage firms in FINRA arbitrations.
