Have You Lost Money with Cantone Research Inc.? on silverlaw.com

Have you invested money with Cantone Research or its affiliates?

In an official FINRA disciplinary proceeding in 2012, New Jersey brokerage firm Cantone Research Inc. (CRI) and firm Vice President and Chief Compliance Officer Christine Cantone (Cantone) agreed to the entry of findings, violations, and sanctions filed against both parties. Allegations in the complaint involve Cantone’s failure to reasonably supervise broker Maxwell Baldwin Smith.

It is believed that Smith sold fictitious investments to the firm’s customers and misappropriated over $1.6 million of their funds. Cantone, according to FINRA, should have recognized certain signs of misconduct on the part of Smith, however, failed to do so, and as a result CRI investors suffered significant financial losses.
