Employment Separation After Allegations

On October 8, 2025, Madison Avenue Securities fired Kelli Gabriel following allegations that he was terminated for recommending a large investment in precious metals to a client. The firm alleged this violated FINRA Rule 3270 and FINRA Rule 3280.

Outside Business and Selling Away 

FINRA Rule 3270 requires brokers to inform their firm of any outside business activities or any investments sold away from the firm. The brokerage firm may prohibit the activity if the firm believes the proposed activity may compromise the broker’s duties. Firms may also require brokers to seek approval for any outside business.

Private Securities Transactions 

FINRA Rule 3280 requires brokers to provide written notice to their firm before engaging in private securities transactions. If the broker is to receive compensation for their participation in the transaction, the member firm may not approve the broker’s participation. This includes selling away, which is the practice of brokers selling investments not offered or approved by their firm.
