On November 28, 2012 The Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) announced that it had filed a complaint against Sledziejowski, alleging his defalcating funds of three customers in the amount of more than $4 million through an alleged scheme, carried on primarily outside the securities firm TWS Financial, LLC. Allegations involved converting client funds to the use of an entity under his control for the purpose of acquiring control over an FDIC registered PNA Bank headquartered in Chicago, IL while allegedly providing inaccurate account reports to three of his customers who were Sledziejowski's long time business partners and investors in the planned acquisition. Sledziejowski and his firm TWS Financial catered primarily to international investors. Sledziejowski denied all allegations made by FINRA. TWS Financial, LLC. had several thousand clients and few hundred million dollars under management.
