New York Broker Barred by FINRA and Upheld by SEC and NAC

Soreide Law Group, (888) 760-6552, has obtained the following summation of information from FINRA’s website, under “Disciplinary and Other FINRA Actions, January, 2015.”

John Joseph Plunkett (CRD #2321368, Brooklyn, New York)

was barred by FINRA and the SEC sustained the bar imposed by the National Adjudicatory Council (NAC).

These sanctions were based on findings that Plunkett removed his former member firm’s books and records without the firm’s authorization, and erased the firm’s electronic files and computer servers.

The SEC also upheld the NAC’s findings that Plunkett partially failed to respond to FINRA’s requests for information and documents.

(FINRA Case #2006005259801)

John Joseph Plunkett was registered in the securities industry for 15 years and was previously registered with the following securities firm(s):
