Michael Slusher (CRD # 5175006, Registered Representative, Rhinebeck, New York) submitted an Offer of Settlement in which he was barred from association with any FINRA member in any capacity. Without admitting or denying the allegations, Slusher consented to the described sanction and to the entry of findings that without a bank customer’s authorization or consent, he transferred $4,000 from the customer’s account to an account he had opened in a fictitious customer’s name, then withdrew $300 from that account for his own use and benefit. The findings stated that Slusher also failed to respond to FINRA requests for information. (FINRA Case # 2007009836601)
