Did Jeffrey David Stanga Cause You Investment Losses?
Jeffrey David Stanga of Aliso Viejo, California submitted a Letter of Acceptance, Waiver and Consent to the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority in which he was fined $10,000, suspended from association with any FINRA member in all capacities for a period of 12 months and ordered to pay disgorgement of benefits received in the amount of $28,359, plus interest. The sanctions were based on findings that he allegedly failed to fully disclose his outside business activities and participated in private securities transactions in violation of FINRA Rules 3270, 3280, and 2010. The suspension is in effect from April 5, 2021, through April 4, 2022.
In October 2014, Jeffrey David Stanga joined FMN Capital while registered as a General Securities Representative. According to FINRA’s findings, Stanga allegedly participated in outside business activities and private transactions without notice or approval from his member firm. The findings state that although Stanga had informed his firm of certain outside business activities, he failed to disclose the fact that he served as a manager for an investment-related business and previously sold promissory notes of approximately $1,160,000 to four investors in connection with a real estate brokerage firm. In addition, Stanga received $28,359 in referral fees in connection with the private transactions that he was ordered to pay back. Although Jeffrey David Stanga is no longer registered with a FINRA member firm, he remains subject to FINRA’s jurisdiction.
FINRA Rule 3270 provides that “[n]o registered person may be an employee, independent contractor, sole proprietor, officer, director or partner of another person, or be compensated, or have the reasonable expectation of compensation, from any other person as a result of any business activity outside the scope of the relationship with his or her member firm, unless he or she has provided prior written notice to the member, in such form as specified by the member.” A violation of FINRA Rule 3270 is also a violation of FINRA Rule 2010. FINRA Rule 3280, and its predecessor, NASD Rule 3040, requires that prior to participating in a private securities transaction, a person associated with a member firm shall provide written notice to his or her firm, “describing in detail the proposed transaction and the person’s proposed role therein and stating whether he has received or may receive selling compensation in connection with the transaction.”
