Paul A. Posillico Permanently Barred from Securities Industry

Numerous allegations and failure to respond to FINRA requests drive decision

After 10 years in the securities industry, Paul Posillico has been permanently barred from practicing as a financial broker or investment advisor. During his ten years of buying and selling securities on behalf of customers and providing advice about securities to clients, Posillico had more than 9 allegations of broker misconduct made against him.

According to FINRA’s BrokerCheck report on Posillico, the broker was barred from the securities industry for “failure to comply with an arbitration award or settlement agreement or to satisfactorily respond to a FINRA request to provide information concerning the status of compliance.”

The requested damages in this case were $433,000.00, according to FINRA’s BrokerCheck report on Posillico.

Most recently, however, are allegations made against Posillico while he was with Aegis Capital Corp.. While the case is still pending, it includes allegations of churning, unsuitability, unauthorized trading, breach of fiduciary duty, fraud and misrepresentation for the period of February 1, 2013 – February 1, 2014.
