Investor Alert: Douglas Arthur Sanzone was barred for failing to establish and maintain a reasonably designed supervisory system
FINRA Sanctions & Allegations of Misconduct
FINRA barred Douglas Arthur Sanzone (CRD #1646194) Valetta, Malta of BARDOWN CAPITAL LLC for failing to establish and maintain a reasonably designed supervisory system and WSPs to manage and supervise his member firm’s direct market access business. In addition, Sanzone failed to perform reasonable supervisory oversight of the order flow from the unaffiliated introducing broker despite multiple red flags regarding potentially manipulative activity, all of which Sanzone knew or should have known about.
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.
