In January, 2016, the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”) announced that Zachary Bader of West Babylon, NY formerly with National Securities Corp. and Craig Scott Capital  submitted an acceptance, waiver and consent letter whereby he was barred from association with any FINRA member in any capacity. The FINRA complaint alleged that Bader engaged in excessive and unsuitable trading in client accounts in regards to exchange traded notes.  FINRA found that Bader failed to conduct his own due diligence into the notes, and did not have a reasonable basis to recommend it to his clients.
