Should I sue over this?

Quote from Equalizer:

This sounds weird to me.

Most top-tier IBs would ask you to have the site shut down once employment commenced (also no unauthorised trading). In addition, it is not unheard of for the same IBs to verify your more 'minor' details well after the given probationary period. I am aware of some dude that was fired from a top-tier IB for lying about their O-levels (in the UK). Funny thing is that he was actually good at his job and had been there for about 2 years - their take was if he lied about this, then... etc... etc... We concluded at the time that someone must have known about this and informed the compliance dudes - for what reason I do not know - he was a likeable guy.

I know your situation is different, but how did this lady get a hold of your details? You say you disclosed your website info during interviews. Maybe she was conducting an independent investigation as you were a new hire, and your name came up.

Anyways, the best advice is to see a lawyer and stop disclosing any further details to the public...

Well first of all it wasn't an IB it was a bank....One thing I learned is that banks don't know what they are doing. My branch manager couldn't open a checking account and she'd been there 4 years.
 
las - you need a securities employment lawyer ASAP. You can't let this sit long and you need to be proactive. Having been in the same biz years ago, I remember what dealing with compliance is like and you have to act quickly and show you mean business.

Just a question, dont you have a screening process for working with people? what were you doing there to begin with? I was caught at bad firms not screening. The more screening I seem to do the more I see going in business for yourself is much better. You were a cta? why not just pick up the phone and a stack of dnbs?
