FINRA censured and fined $225,000 Two Sigma Securities, LLC (CRD #148960) from New York, New York for effecting certain short sale transactions without borrowing, or entering into a bonafide arrangement to borrow the securities, or having reasonable grounds to believe they could be borrowed, by the delivery date of such securities contrary to the requirements of Rule 203(b)(1) of Regulation SHO pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the locate requirement). In addition, the firm failed to reasonably test the quality and accuracy of the systems that were the primary tool that it relied on for achieving compliance with the locate requirement.

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.
