Broker Negligence and Negligent Supervision 

Former New York stockbroker Allan Montalbano had customer disputes going as far back as over a decade ago. The broker-dealers and investment advisory firms that he was registered with should have taken this into account before deciding to hire him. At the very least, they should have placed him under close supervisory scrutiny given his record of disclosures, to make sure that their customers were protected.
