Ronald Edward Hardy Jr. (CRD # 2668695, Registered Representative, Port Jefferson Station, New York) was barred from association with any FINRA member in any capacity. The sanction was based on findings that Hardy falsified new account records that the customers did not authorize and, in some cases, contained extensive false information including inaccurate birth dates, social security numbers and financial information. The findings stated that Hardy submitted these new account forms to his member firm, causing its required records to be inaccurate. The findings also stated that Hardy engaged in unauthorized transactions in customer accounts. (FINRA Case # 2005001502703)
