FINRA BrokerCheck shows a final customer complaint on December 12, 2023.
Without admitting or denying the findings, Ting consented to the sanction and to the entry of findings that he exercised discretionary authority to effect trades in customer accounts without obtaining written authorization from the customers to exercise discretion and without his member firm having accepted the accounts as discretionary. The findings stated that although the customers understood that Ting was placing trades in the accounts, the customers had not provided prior written authorization for Ting to exercise discretion. The findings also stated that Ting caused his firm to maintain inaccurate books and records by mismarking solicited trades as unsolicited.
