Phillip John Bucaro (CRD #2171289, West Chicago, Illinois)
was fined $7,500 and suspended by FINRA for four months for allegedly selling unapproved equity-indexed annuities (EIAs) to the clients in his firm and Bucaro receiving approximately $203,000 for those sales.
FINRA's findings stated that the firm had an approved EIA list that it allowed its representatives to sell to clients. None of the EIAs that Bucaro sold to his clients were on the firm’s approved list. Bucaro did not give prior written notice of his business activities to the firm.
The suspension is in effect from October 6, 2014, through February 5, 2015.
