Investor Alert: Thomas Francis Sullivan was fined $5,000 and suspended $45,000 for violating net capital requirements

FINRA Sanctions & Allegations of Misconduct

FINRA fined $5,000 and suspended $45,000 Thomas Francis Sullivan (CRD #1145000) of Alexander Capital located in New York, New York for conducting a securities business while failing to maintain its minimum net capital requirement. He failed to take reasonable steps to understand the nature of these receivables and failed to correctly classify certain receivables as non-allowable, including referral fees from an affiliated fund and other investment banking fees the firm had not yet received. The suspension is in effect from November 18, 2019, through December 17, 2019.

Investors Have the Right to Recover Their Losses

When investments are sold by brokerage firms licensed by FINRA, they are subject to the laws that FINRA enforces. The brokerage firms are responsible for ensuring that their brokers are trading fairly, ethically and in the best interest of their clients. Ideally, they would accomplish this through careful supervision. Unfortunately, too often this supervision has been inadequate to fully protect investors. If you purchased any investments through a representative of a registered brokerage firm and suffered losses through negligence or fraud, it immediately puts the brokerage firm at fault for failing to supervise their broker. FINRA law then dictates that you can hold the firm legally liable to recover your damages.
