FINRA has suspended former stockbroker Michael August Pellegrino from the securities industry for two months. On January 26, 2021, Mr. Pellegrino and FINRA entered into a Letter of Acceptance, Waiver, and Consent (“AWC”) over allegations that Mr. Pellegrino distributed a retail communication to approximately 80 retail investors, promoting an investment in a “short-term, high yield contract” issued by a Florida LLC. The communication contained improper projections of future performance, misleading statements, and omitted material information, in violation of FINRA Rules. At the time, Mr. Pellegrino was registered with FINRA-member Taylor Capital Management Inc. (“TCM”).
In addition to imposing a two-month suspension, FINRA also fined Mr. Pellegrino $10,000.
