Did Steven Tarasius Yellen Cause You Investment Losses?
Steven Tarasius Yellen of El Paso, Texas submitted a Letter of Acceptance Waiver and Consent (AWC) to the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) for allegedly utilizing discretion and engaging in unauthorized trading thereby violating NASD Rule 2510(b) and FINRA Rules 4511 and 2010.
Steven Tarasius Yellen was registered with Morgan Stanley as a General Securities Representative when FINRA alleged he exercised discretion in a customer’s account without written consent or acceptance of the account as discretionary and engaged in unauthorized trading. FINRA found that Mr. Yellen opened a second account for the same customer without knowledge and transferred $30,000 from the original account to execute two unauthorized transactions. The firm settled with the customer and terminated Mr. Yellen, filing a Uniform Termination Notice for Securities Industry Registration (“Form U5”).
In March 2016, Mr. Yellen registered with Ameriprise Financial Services. FINRA found, while at this firm, he again engaged in unauthorized trading by entering 16 trades for 10 customers beyond the option trading risk levels. According to FINRA, Mr. Yellen caused this firm’s books and records to be incorrect by mismarking “solicited” options order tickets as “unsolicited” to bypass the firm systems that blocked him. FINRA later found that before accepting employment from Ameriprise, Mr. Yellen sent personal information of Morgan Stanley customers without knowledge or consent, to his own email, in violation of the firm’s policy. As a result, Mr. Yellen caused Morgan Stanley to violate its obligations under Regulation S-P. Steven Tarasius Yellen, without admitting or denying FINRA’s findings, was fined $25,000 and suspended from association with any FINRA member in all capacities for one year.
