In addition brokers are required to disclose certain financial matters such as personal bankruptcies, judgments and liens.
In 2003, without admitting or denying the allegations, Martino agreed to a $15,000 fine and 60 days supervisory suspension to resolve allegations that he failed to adequately supervise registered representatives related to the issuance of 4 research reports.
In pending FINRA arbitration 17-1008, a customer of Axiom Capital Management seeks damages of $305,191 and alleges that Axiom and Martino committed fraud, breach of fiduciary duty and made material misrepresentations in connection with the sale of private placement investments.
