Ronald Broadstone Has Been Barred by FINRA; Broadstone Allegedly Refused to Provide On-the-record Testimony

Ronald Broadstone, on April 18, 2017, allegedly made an appearance to provide on-the-record testimony in connection with FINRA’s investigation and pursuant to FINRA Rules, according to the aforementioned AWC currently under review by attorney Alan Rosca.

Broadstone, during his on-the-record testimony, allegedly refused to respond to FINRA staffs questions and then Broadstone’s counsel purportedly advised FINRA staff, on the record, that Broadstone would not give answers to additional questions and Broadstone then left the testimony without answering any further questions from FINRA staff, the aforementioned AWC notes.

By virtue of his appearance for the April 18 testimony, his counsel’s statement at the April 18 testimony, and this agreement, Broadstone allegedly acknowledges that he received FINRA’s Rule 8210 request and will not provide testimony as requested by FINRA staff pursuant to FINRA Rules, and therefore has been barred by FINRA, the AWC reports.

Ronald Broadstone’s Form CRD also states that he has allegedly not “acted in the interests of the trust and beneficiaries in his capacity as trustee of a family trust” and also has allegedly “violated firm policies concerning order entry and client complaint escalation.”

Ronald Broadstone, from February2007 through April 18, 2017, was registered with FINRA member firm UBS Financial Services Inc. as a general securities representative but is currently not associated with any FINRA member, the aforementioned AWC notes.

Finally, one should also note that, according to the AWC, Ronald D. Broadstone neither admitted nor denied the FINRA findings.
