RR Got 6 Months for Shortcutting the 'New Account' Process

April 25, 2011

In January 2010, Registered Rep Charles Fiorucci switched firms:  from FL-based Fortune Financial Services to CA-based Foresters Equity Services.  During the process of relocating his business and moving his customer accounts, Fiorucci falsified customer signatures on new account forms and change in broker-dealer forms.  Some customers were okay with his signing these documents on their behalf, while others were not.  By falsifying and/or forging customers’ signatures on transaction documents and/or other documents, Fiorucci violated his new firm’s WSP's.   He was fined $5K and suspended 6 months.  This is FINRA Case #2010022424201.   [April 2011 Disc.
