Broker Comment
RR MAINTAINS THAT ALLEGATION THAT HE ALTERED A DOCUMENT WITHOUT CUSTOMER'S INITIALS IS MISLEADING. CUSTOMER WAS PRESENT AND BACK OFFICE WAS INSTRUCTING THE RR AND CUSTOMER THROUGH THE DOCUMENTATION NEED TO TRANSFER A TRUST FROM THE CUSTOMER'S DECEASED FATHER TO THE SON'S ACCOUNT. AS PER THE BACK OFFICE, CHANGES WERE MADE, BUT CUSTOMER FAILED TO INITIAL THE CHANGE. WITH REGARD TO INCOMING CORRESPONDENCE NOT SIGNED BY A PRINCIPAL, RR WAS NOT A PRINCIPAL AND HAD NO SUPERVISORY RESPONSIBILITIES.
