Cantor Fitzgerald and BGC Financial Found to Be in Breach of Contract

From the Desk of Jim Eccleston at Eccleston Law Offices:

A FINRA arbitration panel ordered Cantor Fitzgerald & Co and BGC Financial LP to jointly pay about $1 million in damages to a former employee for breach of contract. The ex-employee alleged that Cantor Fitzgerald and BGC Financial failed to pay him agreed-upon amounts.

In addition, the FINRA panel found that the two companies breached  employment agreement by substantially changing its terms when it closed floor operations of the Chicago futures division and failed to provide a reasonable substitute.

Thank You from the bottom of our hearts for all you have done for us. When we realized this was a very bad investment - we did not know where to turn for help. Then we received your name. When we called you - you were so kind to us and then agreed to help us. For this we are so very grateful. The world would be a much nicer place if there were more people like the two of you in it. We will always remember all the help and kindness you have shown us. Thank you so very very much for everything.
