Gustavo Trujillo Franco (CRD#: 6793684) was employed by Global Strategic Investments in Old Bridge, NJ, from May 2017 until May 2018. In February 2020, Franco was named in a FINRA complaint stating that he failed to appear for testimony under oath that FINRA requested.

According to the complaint, in August of 2018 FINRA began a cause examination of a broker-dealer that Franco had dealings with. The examination addressed, among other things, the broker-dealer’s allegedly fraudulent wire transfers of customers’ funds to a certain shell company that Franco was affiliated with, and the broker-dealer’s history with two investment advisors with which franco was affiliated with that allegedly falsified customers’ documents and engaged in suspicious trading activity.  

FINRA sent Franco a written notice directing him to appear for testimony under oath in Florida in November of 2019. Franco did not appear. FINRA ordered Franco a second time to appear for testimony in December 2019. Franco did not comply with that notice either. 

FINRA’s complaint was filed on February 26, 2020. The matter is currently pending.
