Antonio Gata Bolinao Sr.
AWC/2009017831001
Bolinao willfully failed to disclose material information on his Form U4. Bolinao submitted Business Practice Questionnaires to his firm and each time falsely denied the existence of any liens or judgments against him. Bolinao did not acknowledge the existence of the undisclosed information until after his member firm learned of the information during its investigation of an unrelated customer complaint. Bolinao subsequently stated that he did not disclose the information because he believed that the firm would terminate him.
