The following information appeared on FINRA’s website under “Disciplinary and Other FINRA Actions, June, 2013.”

Michael Corbett Milne (CRD #1842992, Registered Principal, Ocala, Florida)

was fined $5,000 and suspended from association with any FINRA member in any capacity for 15 business days. Without admitting or denying the findings, Milne consented to the described sanctions and to the entry of findings that he exercised discretion in the customers’ accounts by selling out positions that they held in a stock. Milne had previously discussed, with his customers who held shares, the strategy of selling this stock if a target price was reached or a downturn seemed likely, and generally obtained approval of this approach. However, Milne did not obtain the customers’ written authorization or his member firm’s approval to exercise discretion, and in most cases he did not contact customers before selling the stock.
The suspension was in effect from May 20, 2013, through June 10, 2013.
(FINRA Case #2011026262301)
