Did Michael Justin Nagy Cause You Investment Losses?
Michael Justin Nagy of Scottsdale, Arizona submitted a Letter of Acceptance, Waiver and Consent (AWC) to the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) in which he was barred from association with any FINRA member in all capacities. The sanction was based on findings that he converted funds from his firms bank affiliate in violation of FINRA Rule 2010.
In July 2017, Michael Justin Nagy joined Merrill Lynch while registered as a General Securities Representative. The firm later filed a Uniform Termination Notice for Securities Industry Registration (Form U5) in December 2019, disclosing that Nagy had been discharged due to alleged misconduct. According to FINRA’s findings, while working at the firms affiliated bank, Nagy was given $100 in cash to return to the previous customer that had left it behind at the ATM. The findings state that when the manager asked Nagy about the cash left, he allegedly disclaimed any knowledge of the missing funds and decided to keep it rather than report it. Although Michael Justin Nagy is not currently registered or associated with a FINRA member, he remains subject to FINRA’s jurisdiction.
FINRA Rule 2010 requires associated persons of FINRA members to adhere to high standards of commercial honor and just and equitable principles of trade in the conduct of their business. Conversion is an intentional and unauthorized taking of and/or exercise of ownership over property by one who neither owns the property nor is entitled to possess it. Conversion violates FINRA Rule 2010 even if the conversion occurs outside the scope of an associated person’s employment with a FINRA member or even if the person from whom the funds are converted is not a customer of the firm with which the respondent was associated.
