Investors apparently complained about securities broker Michael Edward Orlowski [CRD: 4922316, Syosset, New York], given the publicly available information found on Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) BrokerCheck. Michael Orlowski has been registered with Commerce One Financial Inc. since March 4, 2005. Investors should continue reading to discover more about disclosures involving this securities broker.
Notably, a Commerce One Financial Inc. client filed FINRA Arbitration No. 23-03232 about Michael Orlowski. Primarily, the client alleged that Orlowski mismanaged the investment account. Because of this, the client allegedly incurred damages connected to stocks. Therefore, on March 20, 2024, Commerce One Financial Inc. settled this matter by paying the client $14,999.99 in damages.
Specifically, a client of Commerce One Financial Inc. disputed Orlowski’s sales practices, according to a complaint. Allegedly, Orlowski failed to execute a stop loss order, as the client claimed he could not reach the broker before an earnings announcement. It appears that Orlowski allegedly caused the client to suffer damages associated with stocks. Consequently, Commerce One Financial Inc. opted to settle the matter on January 14, 2008, by compensating the client in the amount of $38,000.
