In 2016, a former client of Spire Securities, LLC (Spire) filed a complaint against financial advisor David Blisk (CRD#:2155652) and Spire alleging failure to supervise, negligent or intentional misstatements, control person liability, respondent superior, unsuitability, among other violations of FINRA Rules and securities law.

Spire denied the allegations and FINRA conducted arbitration proceedings that eventually ended on June 20, 2019 with the award of $3 million in the clients’ favor.

Blisk, who has been registered with Spire since 2007, is still employed by the firm. He has no other disclosures on his record.

Under FINRA Rules, member firms are responsible for supervising their brokers’ activities during the time the broker is registered with the firm. Thus, Spire may be liable for investment or other losses suffered by Blisk’s customers.
