Ex-David Lerner Associates Broker Charles Bonilla Suspended For Alleged Unsuitable Energy Investment Recommendations
Former David Lerner Associate Broker May Have Sold Spirit of America Energy Fund Among Others to Customers
The Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) has suspended Florida-based broker, Charles Bonilla, for six months. The action comes over allegations that he unsuitably recommended two energy investments to customers while he was a David Lerner Associates stockbroker without having enough knowledge about them.
Bonilla agreed to the FINRA suspension. He will pay both a $5K penalty and more than $22,400 in disgorgement plus interest. However, he is not denying or admitting to the self-regulatory organization’s (SRO’s) findings.
