FINRA Sanctions & Allegations of Misconduct
FINRA filed a complaint against Christopher Peter Tranchina (CRD #5657849) from Neptune, New Jersey of CHELSEA FINANCIAL SERVICES for committing conversion by taking files with the intent to deprive his former member firm and/or its affiliated insurance company of them. In addition, the hours after being fired by the firm and being instructed not to return to the office, Tranchina broke into his locked office and stole client-related files belonging to the firm and the affiliate insurance company.
Investors Have the Right to Recover Their Losses
When investments are sold by brokerage firms licensed by FINRA, they are subject to the laws that FINRA enforces. The brokerage firms are responsible for ensuring that their brokers are trading fairly, ethically and in the best interest of their clients. Ideally, they would accomplish this through careful supervision. Unfortunately, too often this supervision has been inadequate to fully protect investors. If you purchased any investments through a representative of a registered brokerage firm and suffered losses through negligence or fraud, it immediately puts the brokerage firm at fault for failing to supervise their broker. FINRA law then dictates that you can hold the firm legally liable to recover your damages.
