Appelbaum was also permanently barred from acting as an investment advisor by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).

The complaint further alleged that Appelbaum engaged in unauthorized trading, also in violation of the antifraud provisions of the federal securities laws.
According to FINRA BrokerCheck, broker Alan Appelbaum was previously registered with Aegis Capital Corp. from 2015 to 2021 in Boca Raton, FL. Appelbaum was permitted to resign from the firm following allegations that he failed to follow the firm’s procedures and exercised discretion without a client’s written authorization.
