Did Christopher Michael Herrmann Cause You Investment Losses?
Christopher Michael Herrmann of Greenwood, Indiana submitted a Letter of Acceptance, Waiver, and Consent (AWC) to the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) in which he was assessed a deferred fine of $10,000 and received a suspension. Mr. Herrmann was employed with Key Investment Services (KIS) during the relevant time period. According to FINRA’s findings, Mr. Herrmann recommended annuity transactions to retired and elderly customers. FINRA’s investigation involved allegations that Mr. Herrmann failed to facilitate the transactions as a tax free 1035 exchange, which resulted in significant tax liability to the customers. FINRA found that Mr. Herrmann allegedly circumvented KIS’s compliance procedures and supervision by hiding these switch transactions and providing fictitious information. Due to the above referenced conduct, FINRA determined that Christopher Herrmann was in violation of FINRA Rules 4511, 2111 and 2010. Without admitting or denying FINRA’s allegations, Christopher Herrmann agreed to the sanctions and received a suspension from associating with any FINRA member in all capacities for nine months.
