Joel Eziekel Blum (CRD #4905379, Goshen, New York) Alternate Names: EZIEKEL JOEL BLUM

was fined $10,000 and suspended by FINRA for 20 days for allegedly executing discretionary transactions in client accounts without written authorization to do so from his member firm.

FINRA's findings stated that Blum also allegedly mismarked order tickets in connection with these transactions, inaccurately indicating that the trades were unsolicited when in fact they were solicited.

The suspension was in effect from April 6, 2015, through April 25, 2015.
