Cantor Fitzgerald Fined $2 Million Over Short Sales Violations: Finra also said Cantor repeatedly ignored “red flags,” including internal audit findings from its staff. “Cantor was aware of supervisory deficiencies but did not implement remedial measures until 2016. As a result, the firm did not close out more than 4,879 fails-to-deliver in a timely manner, while it accepted and executed short orders in those securities without first borrowing (or arranging to borrow).”
