Florida Broker Barred by FINRA

The following information is available on FINRA's Website under “Disciplinary and Other FINRA Actions, April, 2014.”

Gregg N. Nussbaum (CRD #2020751, Registered Representative, Deerfield, Florida)

has been barred by FINRA. Allegedly, according to the FINRA report, Nussbaum intentionally exceeded his trading authority. FINRA's findings stated that his firm authorized Nussbaum could only simultaneously open and close a U.S. Treasury position of no greater than $5 million so as not to engage in risky principal trading for the firm. However Nussbaum did not simultaneously open and close positions and he left positions open for long periods of time throughout the trading day and he opened positions in excess of the $5 million par value limit.

According to FINRA, Nussbaum allegedly had intentionally submitted order tickets with false execution times to the firm and exceeded his trading authority. These tickets indicated falsely that Nussbaum was complying with the firm’s limitations. The firm engaged in proprietary trading, so it was required to maintain a minimum net capital of $100,000. Nussbaum allegedly opened and left open on a particular date, which then caused the firm’s capital position to fall below its required minimum on that day. FINRA's findings stated that as a result on that day, the firm conducted a securities business while it was net-capital deficient.
