Carlo Wayne Corzine (CRD #1928723, Registered Principal, Boca Raton, Florida)
was suspended by FINRA for 30 days. According to FINRA's investigation, Corzine sold more than 152 million unregistered shares of a thinly-traded OTC security for his clients, which included the CEO and president of the issuer, and other accounts he controlled.
Corzine’s clients opened accounts at Corzine's member firm in which they deposited and sold huge amounts of the stock, then wired those proceeds out of the accounts, which totaled approx.$570,000 to the clients.
Allegedly, there was no due diligence performed by Corzine. This stock was unregistered and no exemption was available. Corzine failed to verify certain information.
The suspension is in effect from January 6, 2014, through February 18, 2014. (FINRA Case #2011029206501)
