FINRA suspends Michael Anthony McGregor (CRD #2778819, Staten Island, New York)

March 14, 2018 – A Letter of Acceptance, Waiver and Consent (AWC) was issued in which McGregor was fined $5,000, suspended from association with any FINRA member in all capacities for four months, and ordered to pay $14,266, plus interest, in restitution to a customer. Without admitting or denying the findings, McGregor consented to the sanctions and to the entry of findings that he engaged in quantitatively unsuitable trading in two accounts of a customer. The findings stated that the customer, who is now retired, had limited investment experience and conservative investment objectives. McGregor recommended the trading for the customer’s accounts, and the customer followed such recommendations and did not propose any trades of his own. Accordingly, McGregor had de facto control over the customer’s accounts. These accounts sustained a collective loss of $14,266. The suspension is in effect from March 19, 2018, through July 18, 2018.
