Marc Nathan Jaffe (Marc Jaffe) – FINRA Files Complaint Against Financial Advisor/Broker Marc Jaffe | Goodman & Nekvasil, P.A. May Recover Investor Losses
Marc Nathan Jaffe (Marc Jaffe) CRD #2187547
Marc Jaffe was a previously registered financial advisor/broker with Finance 500, Inc. According to FINRA, FINRA filed a complaint against Marc Jaffe in April 2020.
According to FINRA Allegations:
Marc Jaffe was a named respondent in a FINRA complaint alleging that Marc Jaffe was associated with member firm, Integrity Brokerage Services, Inc., and engaged in it’s securities business despite Marc Jaffe statutory disqualification. This complaint alleges that Marc Jaffe was an unregistered person acting in a registered capacity. Marc Jaffe engaged in the firm’s investment banking or securities business. Marc Jaffe performed functions of a General Securities Representative by, among other things, communicating with members of the public to determine their interest in making investments, communicating with customers in an effort to maintain their accounts at the firm, discussing the nature or details of particular securities or investment vehicles, recommending the purchase or sale of securities through a firm registered representative, and receiving compensation for, and in connection with, securities transactions of firm customers.
According to Marc Jaffe’s BrokerCheck Report, Marc Jaffe was discharged from Finance 500, Inc. in September 2015. Marc Jaffe allegedly indirectly received commissions form another Registered Representative in Marc Jaffe’s office, in possible violation of FINRA Rule 2040 when that associate transferred commissions to Jaffe Financial Services, Inc. (JFS), the non-registered entity controlled by Marc Jaffe through which he conducts business. The commission sharing arrangement also appears to have circumvented state agent registration requirements in that Marc Jaffe was not registered in states where his associate earned commissions that were paid over to JFS.
According to FINRA, Marc Jaffe was fined $15,000 and was suspended from the securities industry for two months in August 2015. According to FINRA allegations, without admitting or denying the findings, Marc Jaffe consented to the sanctions and to the entry of findings that Marc Jaffe willfully failed to timely disclose federal and state tax liens on his U4 Form.
According to Marc Jaffe’s BrokerCheck, 22 customer disputes alleging sales practice violations against Marc Jaffe have been settled, with the largest settlement amount being $900,000.
