Did David Leroy Johnson Cause You Investment Losses?
David Leroy Johnson of Houston, Texas has been fined $5,000 and suspended from association with any FINRA member for a period of three months for allegedly falsifying documents in violation of FINRA Rules 4511 and 2010. Without admitting or denying the allegations, Johnson consented to the sanctions. The suspension was in effect from September 21, 2020, through December 20, 2020.
In October 2015, David Leroy Johnson joined LPL Financial and registered as a General Securities Representative. LPL Financial later discharged Johnson for violating certain company policy. According to the FINRA findings, Johnson allegedly reused customer signatures from older forms on eight separate occasions and submitted them as originals for processing. The findings stated that two of the documents were required to be kept by Exchange Act Rule 17a-3 and by falsifying the signatures, Johnson caused his firm to mismark their books and records. Although Johnson is no longer associated with any FINRA member, he remains subject to FINRA’s jurisdiction.
FINRA Rule 4511 requires each member to make and preserve books and records in conformity with Section 17(a) of the Exchange Act and Rule 17a-3 promulgated thereunder. Inherent in this requirement is the requirement that the books and records the firm makes are accurate. When an associated person falsifies a firm’s books and records, he or she violates FINRA Rule 4511. A violation of FINRA Rule 4511 is also a violation of FINRA Rule 2010.
