* SEC penalizes “rogue brokers” who churn.
* Stockbroker Robert Magnan was convicted of criminal offense of churning, and barred from securities industry for life, 1999.
* Magnan’s clients had an annual turnover rate of 11, and investments would have had to earn annual return of 50% to pay transactions costs.
