Stephen Matthew Sirianni (CRD # 715867, Registered Representative, Wausau, Wisconsin) submitted an Offer of Settlement in which he was fined $15,000 and suspended from association with any FINRA member in any capacity for two years. The fine must be paid either immediately upon Sirianni’s reassociation with a FINRA member firm following his suspension, or prior to the filing of any application or request for relief from any statutory disqualification, whichever is earlier. Without admitting or denying the allegations, Sirianni consented to the described sanctions and to the entry of findings that he participated in private securities transactions and failed to give prior written notice to, and receive written approval from, his member firm. The findings stated that Sirianni, while using the means and instrumentalities of interstate commerce to offer securities for sale, made material misrepresentations in the form of price predictions to induce transactions, which did occur. The findings also stated that Sirianni engaged in outside business activities and failed to give prompt written notice to his member firm. The findings also included that Sirianni failed to amend his Form U4 to disclose an SEC civil action.(FINRA Case # E8A2004095401)
