James Vincent Marino : Elder Financial Fraud Alert
The Edward Jones broker is permanently barred following allegations of accepting gifts from clients, along with using client credit cards
In August 2017, the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) indefinitely barred James Vincent Marino from acting as a broker or otherwise associating with firms that sell securities to the public.
Marino’s one and only employer for his three-year securities industry career, Edward Jones in Pompano Beach, FL, discharged the broker in October 2016 alleging, “Without prior notice to or approval from the Firm, Mr. Marino accepted gifts totaling approximately $20,500 from a Firm client. In addition, he was authorized to use the same client’s credit card and used that card for his benefit in the amount of approximately $6,700.”
