Marcelo L. Assis (CRD # 5137579, Associated Person, Pickerington, Ohio) submitted a Letter of Acceptance, Waiver and Consent in which he was barred from association with any FINRA member in any capacity. Without admitting or denying the findings, Assis consented to the described sanction and to the entry of findings that he used information obtained from a public customer’s driver’s license to open a bank account under the customer’s name without the customer’s consent and knowledge, and signed a bank signature card that would allow him to make deposits into the account and also obtained a debit card for the account. The findings stated that Assis took a $749 money order made out to a corporate customer to fund the bank account he secretly opened and controlled, and used the debit card for the account to pay for personal items for himself and a friend. The findings stated that Assis also withdrew some of the money from the account through automatic teller machine (ATM) transactions for personal expenses. (FINRA Case # 2006006758901)
