Bordner is a Beverly Hills California broker who was fired by the bank in May 2024 over a disputed food expense he submitted in connection with a business meeting at his Beverly Hills home, according to FINRA (1). The gathering took place in February 2024, timed to Super Bowl weekend, People reported (2).

“I’m unsurprised,” Bodner’s attorney, Marc Seldin Rosen, told People. “And I, you know, I was hopeful that it would be more in line with the actual damages he sustained, but given the forum we were in, you know, you can’t disrespect that outcome.”

“We vehemently disagree with FINRA’s decision and are disappointed by this outcome,” the bank said in a statement.
