Chris Fulco (CRD #4093586, Staten Island, New York)
barred by FINRA for allegedly participating, either directly or indirectly, in the sales of a non-public company’s shares away from his member firms without providing written notice to or receiving approval from his firms.
FINRA's findings stated that Fulco concealed his involvement in the transactions, from one of his firms, by lying on the firm’s compliance questionnaire. FINRA's findings also stated that Fulco misrepresented his involvement in the transactions during his FINRA testimony. Fulco falsely testified that wire transfers he received were not payments relating to the transactions and that he did not use his personal email account to communicate with the company.
FINRA's findings also included that Fulco encouraged another person not to appear for his scheduled on-the-record interview with FINRA or, if he did, to provide false testimony. FINRA found that Fulco willfully failed to timely disclose a federal tax lien and civil judgment on his Form U4. (FINRA Case #2011030015301)
