The following information appeared on FINRA’s website under “Disciplinary and Other FINRA Actions, June, 2013.”

Earl William Fay (CRD #2492793, Registered Representative, Milton, Massachusetts)

was fined $7,500 and suspended from association with any FINRA member in any capacity for 30 business days. Without admitting or denying the findings, Fay consented to the described sanctions and to the entry of findings that he impersonated customers in telephone calls to his member firm to effect transactions, which primarily consisted of sub-account re-allocations that the customers had authorized and/or the purchase or sale of certain securities, which were unsolicited.

The suspension is in effect from May 6, 2013, through June 17, 2013.
