Aldo Nestor Marchena , a broker with Northeast Securities, entered into a Letter of Acceptance Waiver and Consent (AWC) with the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) to resolve allegations that  he engaged in an outside business activity while associated with Northeast Securities without providing written notice to the firm in violation of FINRA rules.

In addition, FINRA alleged that Marchena made inaccurate statements on two annual firm questionnaires , in violation of FINRA rules.

According to FINRA records, Marchena formed ABC, a Florida LLC which offered business consulting services and used his Northeast Securities address as the official address of ABC. In early 2011, Marchena orally requested permission from the firm to refer Northeast Securities customers to ABC for business consulting purposes and for referrals from ABC for brokerage services. The firm denied the request.

According to FINRA, Marchena did not tell the firm he was continuing his involvement with ABC.
