The Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) has barred Arturo Nunez from acting as a broker or otherwise associating with a broker-dealer firm.
Without admitting or denying the findings, Nunez consented to the sanction and to the entry of findings that he allegedly twice appeared for FINRA on-the-record testimony, left before the on-the-record completions, refused to answer certain questions and refused to allow FINRA to ask their remaining questions in connection with its investigation into whether Nunez, among other things, improperly shared commissions.
Also, according to FINRA, on April 21, 2014, FINRA fined Nunez $5,000 and suspended him from association with any FINRA member in any capacity for one month for allegedly signing various documents on behalf of two individuals: a business recruit and one of his PFS clients.

Although no specific cause was required for such termination under the governing agreements, the firm notified the representative that in the firm’s opinion there were sales practices issues and other non-securities related issues that provided grounds for termination.”
