Paul Posillico, Aegis Financial Corp., Investigation
Paul Posillico, a New York stock broker, is no longer licensed.
After ten years in the securities industry, Paul Posillico has been permanently barred from acting as a broker or otherwise associating with firms that sell securities to the public. Although his barring occurred in June of 2015, Posillico was in hot water with FINRA for years before, including five complaints against him and two regulatory disputes.
His employment history includes most recently working as a broker for Aegis Capital Corporation in Melville, New York, from February 2013 to October 2014. He was also employed at Obsidian Financial Group from April 2008 to April 2013, a firm that was expelled by FINRA in October 2013.
Two other firms that Posillico worked at were also expelled: Charles Vista, LLC and Westrock Advisors, both in New York.
Among the disputes against him, Posillico is charged with unauthorized trading, unsuitable recommendations, churning, negligence, breach of fiduciary duty, fraud and failure to supervise.
