Did Michael Gamez Cause You Investment Losses?
Michael Jason Gamez of Corsicana, Texas submitted a Letter of Acceptance, Waiver and Consent (AWC) to the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) in which he was fined and suspended for allegedly engaging in unauthorized trading and unsuitable recommendations thereby violating NASD Conduct Rules 2510(b) and FINRA Rules 2111 and 2010. Michael Jason Gamez was registered with Edward Jones as a General Securities Representative when FINRA alleged Mr. Gamez exercised discretion in 15 customer accounts without receiving prior written approval from the customers. Mr. Gamez also allegedly executed 4,448 unsuitable trades in 74 customer accounts. According to FINRA’s findings, Mr. Gamez failed to discuss with the customers the shares he intended to purchase and the amount of available funds in the account. He did not consider how the deposited funds limited the transaction size in a given month. Additionally, Mr. Gamez neglected to inform the customers about the actual trade date and only notified them after he purchased the securities. FINRA found Mr. Gamez had no understanding of the potential risks and rewards associated with the recommended trades and had no reasonable basis for his recommendations. Michael Jason Gamez, without admitting or denying FINRA’s findings, was assessed a fine of $25,000, ordered to pay $73,567 in deferred disgorgement and suspended him from association with any FINRA member in all capacities for one year.
