The Fort Lauderdale-based, Soreide Law Group, (888) 760-6552, obtained this summation of the following information from FINRA’s website under “Disciplinary and Other FINRA Actions, April, 2014.”
Timothy Burke Ruggiero (CRD #2119642, Registered Principal, Plantation, Florida)
was barred by FINRA for allegedly engaging in intentional stock price manipulation. FINRA's findings stated that Ruggiero not only allegedly participated in the manipulative stock price scheme, but as the firm’s President and Chief Executive Officer (CEO), did not stop it, even though he was in the position to do so.
According to the FINRA report, Ruggiero allegedly traded in stock for two offerings during the restricted periods. Also, allegedly Ruggiero forged initials on the order tickets for supervisory evidence in the transactions. Ruggiero did not ensure that the firm had an effective system for electronic communications in place.
Also in the FINRA report, it alleges that Ruggiero failed to supervise the firm’s trading and electronic communications. Timothy Ruggiero failed to ensure that his firm had the proper system to retain the emails and prevent the use of outside, personal email accounts. (FINRA Case #2008011675301)
