Silver Law Group’s founder, attorney Scott Silver, recently spoke with Investment News about two brokers who filed for bankruptcy after a FINRA arbitration awarded money to one of their former clients. "Another schlocky broker-dealer gets hit with an arbitration award and the owner and everyone else declare bankruptcy," Mr. Silver told Investment News. Mr. Silver is also representing another client whose account was churned by the same firm. The firm in question is E1 Asset Management (CRD# 46872) of Jersey City, NJ. In the arbitration, the client requested $4 million in damages. Three FINRA arbitrators awarded the client compensatory damages of $1.6 million, interest of $578,000, and legal fees of $420,000, for a total of $2,598,000.Silver Law Group’s founder, attorney Scott Silver, recently spoke with Investment News about two brokers who filed for bankruptcy after a FINRA arbitration awarded money to one of their former clients.
