According To FINRA:

Regarding Phil Fatta’s suspension in May 2018, Phil Fatta consented to the sanctions and to the entry of findings that Phil Fatta engaged in quantitatively unsuitable trading in the account of a customer.

Phil Fatta recommended the trading for the customer’s account and the customer followed such recommendations.

During this period, the customer’s account sustained a loss of approximately $98,000.

Regarding Phil Fatta’s suspensions in June 2017 and November 2017, Phil Fatta failed to comply with an arbitration award or settlement agreement or to satisfactorily respond to a FINRA request to provide information concerning the status of compliance.
