Did Paul Lawrence Fowler Cause You Investment Losses?
Paul Lawrence Fowler of Davidsonville, Maryland submitted a Letter of Acceptance, Waiver and Consent (AWC) to the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) for allegedly executing unauthorized securities transactions in violation of FINRA Rule 2010. Due to the alleged misconduct, Fowler was assessed a fine of $5,000, suspended from association with any FINRA member in all capacities for 30 days. The suspension was in effect from January 19, 2021, through February 17, 2021.
In August 2016, Paul Lawrence Fowler joined Wells Fargo Clearing Services, LLC and became registered as a General Securities Representative. The firm later filed a Uniform Termination Notice (Form U5), disclosing that he had been terminated due to his alleged misconduct. According to the FINRA findings, Fowler allegedly violated the firm’s written supervisory procedures by executing 14 unauthorized transactions with a total principal value of approximately $60,050. The findings state that Fowler received instructions from the husband of the account holder to execute the trades, however, he was not a signatory to or authorized individual of the account. The findings further state that Fowler earned $1,955.85 in commissions for the unauthorized transactions and was ordered to pay it back with interest.
FINRA Rule 2010 requires associated persons to observe high standards of commercial honor and just and equitable principles of trade. Unauthorized trading, which occurs when a registered representative executes trades in a customer’s account without first obtaining the customer’s authorization or consent, violates FINRA Rule 2010.
