finra bars broker alert from soreide law group

BRUCE ARNOLD PLYER (BRUCE PLYER) CRD#: 1666324 was barred by FINRA from acting as a broker or otherwise associating with a broker-dealer firm on October 29, 2018. Without admitting or denying the findings, BRUCE PLYER consented to the sanction and to the entry of findings that he failed to appear and provide FINRA with requested on-the-record testimony in connection with an investigation concerning allegations that he engaged in unauthorized trading in client accounts.
BRUCE PLYER, according to FINRA’s BrokerCheck, had been a registered representative for 29 years. Plyer was with Morgan Stanley of Florham Park, New Jersey, since June of 2009. In November of 2016, the Morgan Stanley discharged Plyer over allegations that he executed trades in clients’ accounts without the client’s authorization.
After Plyer’s discharge from Morgan Stanley, he was registered with International Assets Advisory, LLC, of Morristown, New Jersey, and was with them until February of 2017.
According to FINRA’s BrokerCheck, which is available to the public on FINRA’s website, BRUCE PLYER, has four customer disputes on his record dating back to 1998.  Three of the disputes settled and one was denied.  With the three disputes that settled, some of the allegations were: negligence, breach of fiduciary duty, unauthorized trading fraud and fraudulent concealment and unsuitability, engaging in unsuitable and excessive margin trading, and misrepresentation of auction rate securities. The complaints settled for hundreds of thousands of dollars in total.
