Ameriprise Broker Joel Blum Suspended by FINRA for Unauthorized Trading

Joel Blum, currently with Ameriprise Financial Services, was suspended by FINRA for 20 days for a dispute occurring when he was a broker at Merrill Lynch.  FINRA found that he executed discretionary transactions in customers’ accounts without written authorization.  In addition, it was found that he marked the order tickets for these transactions as unsolicited; when in fact they were solicited.   He was also fined $10,000.00 by FINRA.  Blum worked at Merrill Lynch from May 2008 until February 2014.
