Paul David Arnold (CRD #2278472, Registered Principal, Clearwater, Florida)
was named a respondent in a FINRA complaint alleging that he misappropriated and misused funds totaling $173,600 from an elderly customer, by having the customer sign blank checks that Arnold later made payable to his wife or son without the customer’s authorization. The customer thought the blank checks that Arnold had him sign were being used to pay the customer’s bills; many of them were not. The complaint alleges that Arnold failed to appear and provide testimony in connection with a FINRA investigation.
