Robert Ronald Liggero, a former broker at Jacksonville, Florida based Bull and Bear Brokerage Services, Inc., submitted a Letter of Acceptance, Waiver and Consent in which he consented to the described sanctions and to the entry of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority's (FINRA) findings that he signed customers' names on documents related to the opening of IRA accounts without the customers' knowledge or consent. Mr. Liggero, of Atlantic Beach, Florida, was fined $5,000 and suspended from association with any FINRA member in any capacity for 20 business days. The suspension is in effect from May 20, 2013 through June 17, 2013.

Broker-dealers must establish and implement a reasonable supervisory system to protect customers from broker misconduct. If broker-dealers do not establish and implement a reasonable supervisory system, they may be liable to investors for damages flowing from the misconduct. Therefore, investors who have suffered damages due to prohibited activity such as unauthorized and/or fraudulent signatures can bring forth claims to recover losses against broker-dealers like Bull and Bear Brokerage Services.
