FINRA has barred stockbroker Lawrence Goldstein from the securities industry. Lawrence Goldstein was a registered financial advisor with McNally Financial Services Corporation in Sparks, Nevada, from April 2010 until February 28, 2020.
According to public records, Mr. Goldstein refused to cooperate with a FINRA investigation in whether he engaged in unsuitable excessive trading in a customer’s account.
Excessive trading occurs when a financial advisor makes many trades in a customer’s account, not to benefit the customer but to generate commissions for the broker. Excessive trading is unethical and illegal.
