Soreide Law Group, based in Florida, obtained the following information on this Florida broker from FINRA’s website under, “Disciplinary and Other FINRA Actions May 2018.”
Craig Dean Blattner (CRD #1590301, Longwood, Florida)
was assessed a deferred fine of $5,000 and suspended from association with any FINRA member in all capacities for 15 business days following allegations that he settled a client complaint away from his member firm.
FINRA’s findings stated that the value of a joint account of two clients served by Blattner allegedly declined by approximately $75,000. One of these clients complained, orally and in writing by email, to Blattner about his management of their account and the losses they had suffered. Blattner did not disclose the client’s complaint to the firm, and that complaint was never reported on his Form U4.
According to the FINRA report, Blattner wrote the clients a $15,000 check from his personal checking account. Blattner told the clients that the purpose of the check was to generate trading profits to recoup the losses they had suffered in the joint account.
The suspension was in effect from April 2, 2018, through April 20, 2018.
