Benjamin Gideon Geller (CRD # 2405428, Registered Supervisor, West Bloomfield, Michigan) submitted a Letter of Acceptance, Waiver and Consent in which he was fined $5,000 and suspended from association with any FINRA member in any capacity for 90 days. The fine must be paid either immediately upon Geller’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 findings, Geller consented to the described sanctions and to the entry of findings that he exercised discretion and effected numerous transactions in a customer’s account without obtaining written authority. The findings stated that when Geller placed the trades, he designated them as “unsolicited” although the trades were “solicited,” causing his member firm’s books and records to be inaccurate. The suspension is in effect from December 7, 2009, through March 6, 2010. (FINRA Case # 2007011920901)
