The 87-year-old customer gave Yanow a series of blank, signed checks to use for paying his caregiver in the event that the client was unable to do it himself. However, Yanow instead used the checks, from the customer\u2019s brokerage account at his own firm, to withdraw funds and pay for personal expenses such as fees for his children\u2019s summer camp, overdue homeowner association fees and for the purchase of a 1976 Corvette.<\/p>\n<p>Without admitting or denying the findings, Yanow signed a Letter of Acceptance, Consent &amp; Waiver on 7\/9\/2018. Yanow has been barred indefinitely, in all capacities as of 7\/11\/2018, from any FINRA-registered firm.<\/p>\n<div class=\"read_more_link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.silverlaw.com\/blog\/mitchell-yanow-barred-by-finra-after-conversion-of-customer-funds\/\"  title=\"Continue Reading Mitchell Yanow Barred by FINRA After Conversion of Customer Funds\" class=\"more-link\">Continue reading \u203a<\/a><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Former broker and investment advisor Mitchell Toby Yanow (CRD #2148171) was last employed by Stifel, Nicolaus &amp; Company, Incorporated (CRD #793) of Boca Raton, FL.
