Investor Allegations 

On March 5, 2024, an investor alleged that Robert Zink did not inquire what type of entity she was investing through nor if said entity had sufficient assets to be considered an accredited investor. Accredited investors can afford more risk, and it is therefore essential to verify an investor’s accredited status. 

Employment Separation After Allegations 

On November 30, 2024, Colorado Financial Services Corporation fired Robert Zink following allegations that he knowingly circumvented the firm and received a payment from a client for a transaction that the representative was not licensed to engage in. 

Additionally, Robert Zink allegedly violated FINRA Rule 2210 by utilizing marketing communications without the firm’s prior review and approval. 

FINRA Rule 2210 – Communications with the Public

FINRA Rule 2210 defines how firms and brokers are permitted to communicate with the public (e.g., in advertising). This rule requires all communications with the public to be fair and balanced and free from any false or misleading statements.

High Standards of Commercial Honor 

FINRA Rule 2010 holds brokers to high standards of commercial honor and just and equitable principles of trade. Violations of Rule 2210 also violate this rule.
