- How do bad brokers continue to go from one firm to the next and continue to fleece clients? The answer is as simple as it is unpleasant: brokerage firms fail to disclose material information. Firms fail to warn existing customers, the broker's future customers, the broker's future employers, and regulators about a departing broker's misconduct. Why do firms do this, knowing that the broker might continue the misconduct unabated and undetected, at least for awhile, at a new firm with old and new clients? According to at least one industry trade publication, the answer is: the threat of legal action by the former broker, arbitrations brought by clients, bad public relations, and questions from regulators., Brokerage Firms' Liability When They Fail To Warn About Bad Brokers, PLI Securities Arbitration, Vol. 1 at Pg. 437 (Aug. 2009), 2009
