In May 2019, according to the CFP Board’s Disciplinary and Ethics Commission, the board reportedly issued an order in which Goldman received a suspension of his right to use the CFP® certification marks for six months.

Goldman, formerly registered as a broker with H. Beck, allegedly “failed to comply with applicable regulatory requirements governing professional services provided to a client, failed to exercise reasonable and prudent professional judgment in providing professional services to client, and failed to make and/or implement only recommendations that are suitable for a client when he concentrated a client’s portfolio in unsuitable precious metals investments in late 2009 through August 2010.”

Further, the Commission also found that Goldman entered into a Letter of Acceptance, Waiver and Consent (AWC) with the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) for alleged violations. According to the AWC, FINRA issued Goldman a suspension for 20 calendar days and fined him $10,000.

Goldman’s suspension is reportedly effective from June 28, 2019 through December 28, 2019.

According to his FINRA BrokerCheck report, Goldman was affiliated with H. Beck from January 2010 until May 2016. He reportedly has 6 customer complaints filed against him during his career in the securities industry. He currently is not registered as a broker, according to his profile.
