Did Jackie Smalls Cause You Investment Losses?
Jackie Smalls, a former broker employed by Fort Worth, Texas-based First Command Financial Planning, Inc., submitted a Letter of Acceptance, Waiver and Consent in which he agreed to, without admitting or denying, the described sanctions and the entry of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority’s (FINRA) findings that he caused a customer to invest funds in a privately held company without his firm’s prior knowledge and approval to participate in the private securities transaction. FINRA’s findings stated that Mr. Smalls introduced a customer to EGU, the start-up manufacturing company, and recommended that the customer invest $25,000 in the company, which was outside the scope of Mr. Smalls’ association with his firm. Mr. Smalls informed the customer that he invested $50,000 and other investors had invested funds in the company expecting to receive a percentage of the company’s profits because the company would receive government contracts and become successful. FINRA’s findings also stated that Mr. Smalls helped the customer to obtain a loan from a third-party bank in order to invest in the company. Mr. Smalls of Lexington, South Carolina was fined $5,000 and suspended from associating with any FINRA member in any capacity for two months.
