Karma.

I wonder what his U-4 will say? (Damn - 25 years with Merrill. That sucks that one incident caused him to be terminated this way.)

I would not be surprised if this is not his first such incident. Maybe the first recorded.

Who would want this volatile dude in their financial life?

Giving the benefit of the doubt... it depends on how it's channeled. If he had a military background (first, he'd probably have better skills in dealing with triggers), but that kind of focus and leadership can be very valuable for team-building and leading.

But if he flew off the handle at any little thing... well, even for as much of a shark tank that wirehouses can be, I doubt ML would've kept him for that long.

FINRA must be backed up, but brokercheck still shows him as registered with his firm.

I wonder if he's just been put on a temporary leave of absence?

CT man arrested for bigotry-fueled tirade against smoothie shop workers over son’s allergic reaction

Store employees told police that Iannazzo never told them about the peanut allergy but had only requested that there be no peanut butter in his drink.

Merrill Lynch, where Iannazzo worked as a financial advisor, said Sunday it investigated the incident and fired him.

"Our company does not tolerate behavior of this kind. We immediately investigated and have taken action. This individual is no longer employed at our firm," the company said in a statement.

Rep Fired From Merrill After Smoothie Incident Has a New Gig | ThinkAdvisor

The former Merrill Lynch broker who was fired in January by the wirehouse after he was captured on video throwing a drink and swearing at employees at a Robeks smoothie shop in Connecticut was hired by Aegis Capital this month to serve as a broker and registered representative, according to his report on the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority’s BrokerCheck website.

His time at Aegis, however, could be short-lived if he is convicted of at least one of the charges against him related to the January incident.

Love the headline "smoothie incident", as if that was the worst part of his behavior
