In separate cases, the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority Inc. has barred Shlomo Strugano and John Chrysadakis for failing to take part in investigations looking into their conduct.

He is not currently an employee of a securities firm.
Mr. Chrysadakis resigned from Northwestern Mutual Investment Services in March after denying allegations of fraudulent activity, including alleged forgery of nonvariable insurance forms and alleged submission of unauthorized nonvariable policy applications, as well as undisclosed financial liens and judgments. He is no longer employed in the securities industry.
