Mr. Iacono remains unlicensed to engage in mortgage business in the province of Ontario.”
MortgageBrokerNews.ca first reported on Iacono in July 2013, following FSCO’s issuance of an Interim Compliance Order against the unlicensed broker, urging clients to cease doing business with Iacono.

The first appearance in the matter is set for May 1, 2014.
