Did Jason Likens Cause you Investment Losses?
Jason Likens, a former registered representative associated with Oppenheimer & Co., Inc. (Oppenheimer), submitted a Letter of Acceptance, Waiver and Consent (AWC) to the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) in which he agreed to, but did not admit or deny, the findings that he borrowed money from his customers and did not repay the loans until repeated requests were made. FINRA’s findings stated that Jason Hunter Likens of Asheville, North Carolina approached an elderly customer with significant health issues to borrow $5,000 on two separate occasions in the same month. The customer provided the loans to Mr. Likens on both occasions. FINRA found that Mr. Likens failed to repay the loans as scheduled and did not do so until the customer and his family made repeated requests. According to FINRA, Mr. Likens approached another customer to borrow $13,500 and that customer also provided the loan. FINRA found that Mr. Likens again failed to repay the loan until the customer made repeated requests. FINRA also found that Mr. Likens failed to disclose the loans to his member firm and falsely stated on compliance questionnaires that he had not borrowed money from any customer. Consequently, Jason Likens was suspended from association with any FINRA member for 15 months and assessed a deferred fine of $10,000.
