Securities Arbitration Lawyers BlogFINRA Suspends Christopher Anthony Fernan
The broker is accused of violating FINRA rules by borrowing money from a client
In May of this year, the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) contacted broker Christopher Anthony Fernan to get information involving a customer dispute. Because he failed to respond to the agency, he received a three-month suspension, which was lifted on September 20.
Fernan has been accused of borrowing $11,500 from a customer and only paying back $4,000. When Fernan’s firm – Salomon Whitney Financial – learned about his actions from the client in February of 2017, Fernan was fired.
