Michael Venturino Customer Disputes Total $1.6M

Michael Christopher Venturino (CRD #5872439) is a registered broker currently employed with Spartan Capital Securities, LLC (CRD #146251) of Garden City, NY. His previous employers include Trident Partners Ltd. (CRD #41258) of Woodbury, NY and Aegis Capital Corp. (CRD #15007) of Melville, NY.  Two other prior employers, Craig Scott Capital, LLC (CRD #155924) and Brookstone Securities, Inc. (CRD #13366), both of Uniondale, NY, have been expelled by FINRA.  He has been in the industry since 2010.

Venturino is the subject of 8 disclosures, most recently on 9/11/2018. This customer dispute alleges that from 12/24/14 to 02/28/18, he engaged in misrepresentation, unsuitable recommendations and churning. The client has requested damages of $290,359.83. This case is pending.

FINRA filed a disclosure on 7/17/2018 against Venturino for failing to comply with an arbitration award/letter. He was suspended for one day, as his counsel was arranging installment payments; it later became obvious that the claimant had no intention of doing so. Venturino filed a motion to vacate, and FINRA lifted his suspension.

On 2/15/2018, another customer filed a dispute alleging “unauthorized trading and unsuitable investment recommendations,” with no time frame indicated. The client requested damages of $1,280,623.00. This case is also pending.

Aegis Capital has been the subject of several customer complaints and FINRA arbitration claims.  If you have received a cold call from Aegis, if Aegis has excessively traded your account, or Aegis recommended a private placement without disclosing the risks, you may have a claim for recovery of your money.

The remainder of Venturino’s customer disputes are either closed or settled.
