Securities Broker Kinan Nimeh Involved In Investor Disputes About Suitability, Excessive Trading

The Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”) reports troubling information in regard to securities broker Kinan Nimeh (CRD#: 4438900, New York, NY). Specifically, the securities broker, who worked for firms Rockwell Global Capital (2011 to 2015), McBarron Capital LLC (2015 to 2016), CV Brokerage (2016 to 2017) and Garden State Securities (2017 to present) is involved in five investor disputes. Not only that, but FINRA and the State of Massachusetts each sanctioned Nimeh for sales practice violations. Here’s more.

FINRA Suspends, Fines Nimeh For Unsuitable ETF Transactions

Evidently, FINRA issued Kinan Nimeh a two-month suspension and $5,000 fine in 2017 to resolve allegations that he made unsuitable recommendations in violation of FINRA rules. Namely, Nimeh recommended 52 non-traditional ETFs for 29 McBarron Capital accounts. It appears that Nimeh caused investors to hold the ETFs for long periods when the investments were intended as short-term trading products. It seems that Nimeh failed to have a reasonable basis to recommend these investments.
