22nd April 2022 | Hong Kong
UBS Wealth Management (United States) has paid former compliance officer (Mark Munizzi) $14.1 million after 4 years of lawsuits for defamation comments during his termination filing. The former UBS compliance officer Mark Munizzi was one of a few employees fired in 2018 for failing to supervise options strategy in accounts which resulted in $3.7 million of naked options trading losses (uncovered options) in employee-related accounts executed by a junior broker. The UBS compliance officer (Mark Munizzi) filed for defamation and had won $11.1 million in 2019, but UBS continued to appeal. On 31st March 2022, a United States court denied UBS further appeal and the $11.1 million accrued to $14.1 million including legal fees. Mark Munizzi had earned $200,000 salary a year before his termination and his lawyer said:”He hasn’t gotten a job, or even gotten an interview.”
