Supanik, for allegedly transferring the balance of a client’s account totaling $506,450 into a joint checking account shared with the client. Supanik then purportedly deposited the funds into his personal bank account.
FINRA’s was investigating Supanik’s termination from his member firm, The O.N. Equity Sales Company. In FINRA’s complaint, Supanik was apparently terminated for making the alleged transaction after the clients death, which he failed to disclose to his firm.
