Tyler Forbes – Financial Advisor/Broker Suspended from Securities Industry | Goodman & Nekvasil P.A., May Recover Investor Losses
Tyler Forbes a/k/a Tyler J. Forbes CRD #6503609
Tyler Forbes is a previously licensed financial advisor with Merrill Lynch.
According to FINRA, Tyler Forbes was fined $75,000 and suspended from the securities industry for 16 months in September 2021.
According to FINRA Allegations:
Forbes consented to the sanctions and to the entry of findings that he facilitated instances of spoofing, a type of fraudulent trading involving the use of non-bona fide orders while simultaneously entering bona fide orders on the other side of the market. The findings stated that Forbes entered bona fide orders on one side of the market in a U.S. Treasury note while nearly simultaneously placing a very large, fully displayed non-bona fide order into an electronic trading platform on the opposite side of the market. Forbes’s fully displayed non-bona fide orders were always of sufficient size to create a buy-sell imbalance in the stack. After Forbes’s bona fide order was executed, he then cancelled his larger, fully displayed order. Forbes’s trading activity in these instances injected false information into the marketplace and created an artificial imbalance in the true supply and demand that drove trading behavior, resulting in Forbes executing his orders at better prices. As a result of this conduct, Forbes contravened Section 17(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933.
