FINRA Awards Our Clients Damages Due to Curtis D. Milakovich’s Misconduct

FINRA-300x202On December 22, 2017, the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”) awarded our clients $164,000 due to Milakovich’s misconduct, including unsuitable recommendations, unauthorized trading, negligence, breach of fiduciary duty, and churning.

The Silver Law Group has filed an arbitration claim before FINRA on behalf of two Florida teachers alleging, among other things, that financial advisor Curtis Milakovich (CRD# 5471527) churned their accounts while two national broker/dealers turned a blind eye.

The claim also alleges that the two national broker/dealers did not follow adequate policies and procedures to address the misconduct and failed to follow up on the red flags that would have alerted them to the misconduct being perpetrated on the clients who lost significant portions of their retirement savings.  At times, Milakovich operated as Aspire Wealth Management.

Excessive trading or “churning,” as it is known in the industry, is the act of a broker who excessively and needlessly engages in trading in a client’s account primarily to generate commissions for the broker on each trade without regard for the client’s financial well-being.  Churning is an illegal and unethical practice that violates SEC rules and securities laws.
