Ellentuck has been registered with Aegis Capital Corp. in Morristown, New Jersey from 2016 to 2018. Previously, Ellentuck was registered with UBS Financial Services Inc. in Florham Park, New Jersey from 2012 to 2016, when he was terminated regarding, “FA was discharged after allegations were raised that FA (i) violated firm order entry policy by failing to enter trades immediately upon receipt; (ii) accepted certain orders from non-customers absent prior trading authorization; and (iii) in certain cases, received both fees and commissions/sales credits in connection with transactions in the same securities.”
