RANDOLPH NG LEONG BANNED BY FINRA FOR FORGING CUSTOMER SIGNATURES ON CHECKS AND INSURANCE FORMS

Randolph Ng Leong, formerly with New York, New York based NYLIFE Securities LLC, submitted a letter of acceptance, waiver, and consent in which Mr. Leong consented to sanctions and to the entry of findings that he used a customer's checkbook to write himself a check for $900. Mr. Leong forged the customer's signature on the check, deposited the check into his account, and used the money to pay part of the amount due on his monthly mortgage loan, without the customer's authorization to write the check and sign it. FINRA's findings further stated that Mr. Leong also signed customers' names to life insurance applications without their consent. In addition, findings stated that Leong allowed an applicant for insurance to forge the signature of the applicant's mother on the back of the insurance application. Mr. Leong, of Troy, Michigan, was banned from association with any FINRA member in any capacity.
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 Mr. Leong's fraudulent activity can bring forth claims to recover losses against NYLIFE Securities, which should have prevented Mr. Leong from committing the described illegal activity.
