There are options for customers of Ni Advisors broker Suihock Goy (CRD# 2821380) who suffered investment losses. He has been registered with Ni Advisors in Milpitas, California since 2005.
In August 2013, FINRA sanctioned him to a $13,750 civil and administrative penalty and fine related to allegations that he and his member firm “failed to supervise, provide written approval for, or monitor the registered investment advisory (RIA) activities of its general securities representative (GS) and general securities principal (GP).” According to FINRA, “the representative conducted 1,445 securities transactions through a RIA that was not associated or affiliated with the firm. The firm and Goy permitted representatives to improperly maintain an association with the firm although they did not conduct any securities or investment banking related business. Two representatives were registered as GSS, whereas another representative was registered as an investment company products / variable contracts representative (IR) with the firm, acting though Goy, even though they were not engaged in the investment banking or securities business on behalf of the firm. Also, a representative was registered with the firm, acting through Goy, as a registered options principal (OP), even though the firm was not allowed to engage in an options business and never engaged in the options business. The firm, acting through Goy, sold some 529 plans without registering the firm with the municipal securities rulemaking board (msrb), as required. In addition, the firm, acting through Goy, permitted one of its registered representatives, who was only registered as an ir, to sell one 529 plan.
