A former
broker at PNC sued PNC for a dirty U-5, alleging defamation, libel, misconduct,
wrongful termination, and wrongdoing in connection with the termination of his employment.
A
FINRA arbitration panel awarded him over $100,000, plus
attorneys fees, and ordered his U-5 amended to state that his termination was arbitrary and capricious.
A significant win for the broker. Remember - your CRD Record is forever, and public. You need to make sure it stays clean, and you need to take action to protect and correct it.
