Regulatory sanctions

In November 2000, the NASD (now FINRA) sanctioned Asensio & Company Inc. and Manuel Asensio, for Short Selling, Trade Reporting, and Internet Advertising Violations.

In July 2006, the National Adjudicatory Council of the NASD upheld a hearing panel's ruling that barred Asensio "from association with any NASD member in any capacity" and fined him $20,000. The NASD barred Asensio and his firm for failing to respond to requests for information. It found that Asensio made statements in research reports that criticized PolyMedica Corp. that were "misleading," by stating incorrectly that he was shorting the company when he was not, and by making similar disclosure rule violations. Asensio denied wrongdoing.

In August 2007, Asensio Brokerage Services, Inc. nka Integral Securities, Inc. was expelled by FINRA for failure to pay fines and/or costs.
