William Garbarino Barred after Lincoln Financial fires him for allegedly false testimony
According to The Financial Industry Regulatory Authority Inc. William Garbarino, a former financial advisor of Lincoln Financial in Danbury, CT, has been permanently barred from the securities industry. Garbarino allegedly gave false testimony during a FINRA arbitration that customer signatures on annuity documents had not been photocopied.
In April of this year, Lincoln Financial reportedly discharged Garbarino for providing false testimony under oath, among other infractions. His broker reports states “FINRA made a preliminary determination to pursue disciplinary action against the representative in connection with FINRA’s allegations that he provided false testimony under oath.”
According to FINRA, during an arbitration in May 2013, Garbarino falsely testified that a member of his office staff had not photocopied and reused customer signatures to create annuity company change of broker forms, and that each of the customer signatures contained in a sample of those forms was authentic and non-identical.
FINRA alleges at the time of the testimony, Garbarino purportedly knew that the forms had been falsified.
According to his FINRA BrokerCheck report, prior to his termination Garbarino had been registered with Lincoln Financial in Danbury, CT since 2009. He has five disclosure events listed on his broker report.
