National investment loss lawyers KlaymanToskes is investigating broker John Petrone (CRD# 5634972) of Farmers Financial Solutions, who has been permanently barred from acting as a broker by the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”), following his failure to provide information and documents as requested by FINRA in connection with the regulator’s investigation into, among other issues, his trading in an elderly customer’s accounts and potential misappropriation from that customer.
According to FINRA, on December 16, 2022, Farmers filed a Uniform Termination Notice for Securities Industry Registration (Form U5) stating that Petrone had voluntarily terminated his association with the firm. In November 2023, pursuant to an action taken by the Ohio Department of Insurance, Petrone’s Ohio insurance license was surrendered and terminated in order to resolve an investigation relating to allegations of improperly withholding, misappropriating, or converting money or property received in the course of doing insurance business.
