Philip Marchese (CRD #5905008, Staten Island, New York) was suspended for 12 months and ordered to pay $50,000, plus interest, in deferred partial restitution to customers, for allegations of exercising de facto control over the customer accounts when he recommended high frequency trading in their accounts.
