According to the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA), financial advisor Michael P. Spolar has reportedly consented to the sanction of a fifteen month suspension from working in the securities industry.

According to a Letter of Acceptance, Waiver & Consent, in August and September 2017, Spolar allegedly exercised discretion without written authorization in effecting four securities trades.

In addition, in connection with three options securities trades, Spolar purportedly mismarked the trades as “unsolicited” and allegedly submitted falsified “Unsolicited Options Letter” forms to his employer member firm in connection with the trades.

According to his FINRA BrokerCheck report, Spolar was reportedly registered with International Assets Advisory in Orlando Florida from April 2015 until November 2017 when he was allegedly discharged because he “Contacted clients during suspension.”

Spolar reportedly has 14 customer complaints filed against him according to his broker report, with 3 currently pending. Allegations include unjust enrichment, breach of fiduciary duty, fraud, negligent supervision, failure to supervise, and violation of Ohio Securities act, among others.
