Broker Simone Garofalo Suspended by FINRA 

Financial advisor Simone Garofalo, formerly of Cambridge International Securities, has been suspended from acting as a broker by the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”). FINRA’s findings disclosed that from at least September 2020 to August 2022, while registered with FINRA as a foreign associate through an association with Cambridge, Garofalo engaged in securities activities with and for persons in the United States when he did not have the required registration to do so. Specifically, Garofalo allegedly used email and phone communications to discuss securities transactions and exchange related paperwork with investors and broker-dealers located in the United States. Further, FINRA found that in September 2020, Garofalo through Cambridge earned a commission by facilitating a private secondary securities transaction between two investors located in the United States. 

Signs Investors Should Look Out For About Their Brokerage Accounts

As an investor, there are a few signs that you should look out for if you believe you may have a claim against your financial advisor. These signs could potentially indicate misconduct, negligence, or investment fraud. Investors are encouraged to contact our firm immediately if you have experienced any of the following:

  • You have substantial losses in your investment accounts
  • You received a call, email, or other communication from your broker’s supervisor or manager regarding your portfolio
  • Your broker misrepresented investment opportunities, or failed to disclose details about investments
  • You notice unauthorized transactions in your investment accounts
  • Your broker is not returning your calls or emails
  • You filed a complaint with your brokerage firm that has not been resolved
  • You see a mistake on your statement, or receive a fraudulent statement

Some investors have close relationships with their brokers due to the time and trust built over the course of their investment relationship. However, it is crucial to remember that financial decisions should be based on careful analysis and due diligence rather than solely relying on personal relationships.

Engaging the services of an experienced securities attorney to evaluate your specific circumstances is strongly advised.
