Macko misused her member firm’s funds by causing funds to be credited to her personal firm brokerage account and making withdrawals totaling nearly $5,000 from that account, while failing to timely make deposits corresponding to the posted credits. Macko’s account did not have sufficient funds (NSF) to cover her withdrawals, which her member firm funded. Macko caused her member firm’s books and records to be inaccurate as the false credits were reflected in the firm’s books and records.
