For that reason, we are often asked to file an expungement request with FINRA, to remove unwarranted items from the CRD system, and I explain the process in a new article at the New York Securities Lawyer website.
The interests of investor protection overrode the concepts of fundamental fairness and due process for brokers, and today there is full disclosure of every wart, pimple and untrue allegation made against a broker. Not fair to the broker, but of a theoretical benefit to the investing public.
