In March 2014 the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority fined Portland, Texas, broker Michael Charles Koletar $5,000 and suspended him for 30 days.
These sanctions were imposed to resolve FINRA allegations that he effected discretionary transactions in customer accounts without obtaining the customer’s prior written authorization and without his member firm’s acceptance of the accounts as discretionary. The findings stated that the firm allowed use of discretion only in managed accounts and certain family brokerage accounts with prior written approval.
According to FINRA records Koletar is not currently registered . His previous registration history includes:
10/2012-2/2014 LPL Financial
6/2000-9/2012 Wells Fargo Advisors
