FINRA expelled and fined $403,000 Newport Coast Securities, Inc. (CRD® #16944) from New York, New York for exercising de facto control over the customer accounts. Moreover, the firm is acting through the representatives churned customer accounts in violation of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 Section 10(b), Rule 10b-5 thereunder and FINRA Rule 2020. Indeed, the firm’s chief compliance officer (CCO) testified that he knew about the representative’s excessive trading and the firm’s failure to respond.

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.
