Alain Florestan Guilty of Putting Profits Before Customers
New York broker Alain Florestan faces allegations of misconduct and unsuitable trading.
After 16 years in the securities industry, New York financial broker Alain Florestan is no longer registered to act as a financial advisor or representative in the securities industry. During his career, Florestan experienced 10 disclosure events reported on his FINRA BrokerCheck.
The most recent allegation against Florestan names him as a respondent in a case involving $1.1 million in customer trading losses while these same customers paid over $1 million in commissions and fees. The disciplinary action alleges that during his time with Caldwell International Securities Corporation (CISC), Florestan and his colleagues “put profits before customers, growth before compliance, and subterfuge before transparency.”
