Joel Anthony Benanti (CRD#: 4210681), a former broker for NETWORK 1 FINANCIAL SECURITIES INC. in Hauppauge, NY is a respondent in a recent FINRA Complaint.

According to Benanti’ FINRA BrokerCheck report, Respondent Joel A. Benanti failed to provide information and documents requested pursuant to FINRA Rule 8210 as part of FINRA’s investigation into whether Benanti participated in undisclosed outside business activities and private securities transactions away from his employer member firm.

What FINRA Says About Outside Business & Private Securities Transactions

The Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) warns investors to be especially cautious of brokers engaged in undisclosed outside business activities (OBAs), as these situations often involve “selling away.” When investments are offered outside the supervision of the broker’s firm and without proper due diligence or approval this constitutes selling away.

According to FINRA, this lack of oversight significantly increases the risk of fraud, including Ponzi schemes, private placement fraud, and misappropriation of funds. This is because the investments may not appear on official account statements.

Investors who feel they have been harmed by investment advice or have suffered financial losses are encouraged to contact the securities attorneys at Goodman & Nekvasil, P.A. to have their accounts reviewed and to determine whether they may be entitled to recover losses through FINRA arbitration.
