Securities Arbitration Lawyers BlogJohn Galinsky of First Dominion Capital Corp.
John Galinsky (CRD #1513926) has been employed with First Dominion Capital since November 2017. Previous employment includes National Securities Corporation from January 2012 to November 2017, Fintegra LLC from January 2010 to December 2011 and Advanced Equities from November 1999 to October 2009.
Galinsky was fined $7,500 and suspended from association with any FINRA member in all capacities for 10 business days. Without admitting or denying the findings, Galinsky consented to the sanctions and to the entry of findings that he sent emails to prospective and current investors that were not fair and balanced and did not provide a sound basis for evaluating the facts regarding a company involved in a private securities offering or the offering itself. The findings stated that on two occasions, Galinsky forwarded an email to a customer, which removed references to a patent infringement lawsuit that had recently been filed against the company involved in the offering. By doing so, Galinsky caused his email to be misleading, in that it appeared to forward the entire email that he had received when, in fact, it did not.
The suspension was in effect from May 21, 2018, through June 4, 2018.
