New York Rep FINRA Complaint Alleges Converting Funds from Two Elderly Clients

Registered Representative, ANTHONY C. LAZARUS (CRD# 5713015) South Ozone Park, New York, had a FINRA complaint filed against him alleging that he converted approx. $27,000 from two elderly customers of his firm’s affiliated bank.

FINRA's complaint alleges that Lazarus accessed one of the customer’s bank account and charged on-line payments to be made from that account to his personal credit card account. This elderly customer did not know of or authorize these payments. Also, Lazarus had a debit card issued from the customer’s accounts at the bank without the client’s knowledge or consent. Lazarus then made unauthorized ATM withdrawals of cash from the elderly customer’s accounts. Lazarus also made unauthorized over-the-counter cash withdrawals from the elderly customer’s accounts.

According to FINRA's report, Lazarus made unauthorized funds transfers from the second elderly customer’s savings account at the bank to her checking account. The customer did not know of or authorize these payments.

Anthony Clive Lazarus was previously registered with the following FINRA firm(s):

CHASE INVESTMENT SERVICES CORP. (CRD# 25574) - SPRINGFIELD GARDENS, NY
10/2009 - 01/2012

This ends the information from FINRA.
