According to a recent Disciplinary Proceeding with the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA), John Bocchino and Rafael Jacinto were accused of engaging in a scheme to circumvent Morgan Stanley’s policies restricting trade in Venezuelan bonds. To do so, the men used fictitious nominee accounts that appropriated trades in the accounts and falsified firm documents. As a result of this, both men were able to trade approximately $190 million in Venezuelan bonds. Both men were registered representatives of Morgan Stanley in the New York City office. Both men were terminated from the firm as this was against securities rules and regulations.
John Bocchino was registered with JP Morgan Securities in New York from July 1998 until October 2000, Citigroup Global Markets in New York from February 2001 until June 2009 and Morgan Stanley in New York from June 2009 until March 2012. He is currently registered with UBS in New York and has been since April 2012. He has one customer dispute against him. Jacinto was registered with The Golden, Lender Financial Group in New York from April 1999 until July 1999, TD Waterhouse Investor Services in Omaha, Nebraska from July 1999 until November 2002, Citigroup Global Markets in New York from February 2004 until June 2009 and Morgan Stanley in New York from June 2009 until March 2012.
