It goes against the principles of transparency and honesty that are expected of a licensed real estate broker.

B. Keeping a special bank account, separate and distinct from his own funds, for all moneys received in trust for other persons such as client's money and similar items

Explanation
Keeping a special bank account for client's money is considered unethical because it can lead to potential misuse or mishandling of the funds. It is important for brokers to handle client's money with utmost care and transparency, and keeping it separate from their own funds helps ensure that the money is not mixed or used for personal purposes. This unethical act can breach the trust of clients and may result in legal consequences for the broker.
