Joseph Paul Woitkoski (Joseph Woitkoski) – Financial Advisor/Broker Joseph Woitkoski Suspended from the Securities Industry | Goodman & Nekvasil, P.A. May Recover Investor Losses
Joseph Paul Woitkoski CRD #3023301
Joseph Woitkoski was a previously licensed financial advisor with Raymond James & Associates, Inc. FINRA reports that Joseph Woitkoski will be suspended from the securities industry for 30 days beginning in September 2020.
According to FINRA Allegations:
Woitkoski consented to the sanctions and to the entry of findings that he exercised discretion without written authorization in accounts maintained by customers, some of whom were seniors. The findings stated that over the course of longstanding relationships, the customers gave authorization to Woitkoski to exercise discretion in their accounts. However, Woitkoski did not have written authority from the customers to exercise discretion in their accounts. Additionally, Woitkoski never requested or obtained approval from his member firm to exercise discretion in the customers’ accounts. Woitkoski also completed a compliance questionnaire in which he inaccurately stated that he did not exercise discretion in any non-fee based accounts. The findings also stated that Woitkoski caused the firm to maintain inaccurate books and records by mismarking order tickets for trades as unsolicited when the trades were his idea. Woitkoski had no communication with the customer for at least a week prior to entering the subject trade orders.
