Monticello, Indiana FINRA Defense Lawyers

Do You Need a FINRA Defense Attorney? You may have read that William James Novack of Monticello, Indiana was permanently barred by the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”) from working in the securities industry because he failed to comply with FINRA Rule 8210 and 2010. From August 2018 through September 2019, William James Novack was registered with Cambridge Investment Research, Inc. as a General Securities Representative. According to the findings, FINRA sent Novack a request to appear for an on-the-record testimony regarding the termination of another Cambridge registered representative, who was believed to have been allowing a barred individual to conduct a securities business. The findings state that Novack responded to FINRA through email, stating that he allegedly received, acknowledged, and refused the request to appear for an on-the-record testimony at any time. Although William James Novack is no longer associated with any FINRA member firm, he remains subject to FINRA’s jurisdiction. FINRA Rule 8210 states, in relevant part, that FINRA has the right to require a “person subject to FINRA’ s jurisdiction to provide information orally, in writing, or electronically with respect to any matter involved in the investigation, complaint, examination or proceeding.” FINRA Rule 8210 also specifies that “no person shall fail to provide information or testimony pursuant to this Rule.” A failure to provide information and/or testimony requested by FINRA pursuant to Rule 8210 violates Rule 8210. Conduct that violates FINRA Rule 8210 also violates FINRA Rule 2010, which requires associated persons to “observe high standards of commercial honor and just and equitable principals of trade. “ Unfortunately, William James Novack might have avoided that FINRA 8210 bar from the securities industry with a skilled and experienced FINRA 8210 defense attorney. It is important, early on, to have a FINRA defense attorney advise you on how not to make matters worse and resolve the dispute with the least amount of sanctions which could range from censures to fines, suspensions, permanent bars, and/or referrals to federal or state prosecutors. You will need an experienced FINRA defense lawyer who not only has knowledge of FINRA rules and procedures, the securities laws and the appropriate sanction for the alleged misconduct but also has an excellent reputation and credibility with the FINRA attorneys to negotiate the best outcome.

Former NYLIFE Securities Stockbroker Alan Harold New Barred for Misconduct

Alan Harold New of Fort Wayne, Indiana submitted a Letter of Acceptance, Waiver and Consent (AWC) to the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) in which he was barred for allegedly failing to provide documents to FINRA in violation of FINRA Rules 8210 and 2010. From 2004 through 2016, Alan Harold New was registered as an Investment Company and Variable Contracts Products Representative with NYLIFE Securities LLC. According to FINRA, a request was sent to Mr. New regarding his participation in the sale of promissory notes related to the Woodbridge group of companies LLC. The findings stated that Mr. New allegedly raised approximately $15 million from the sale of the promissory notes and earned at least $1.5 million in commission. In addition, FINRA revealed nine days after the request was sent, Mr. New’s attorney responded stating that he allegedly received, acknowledged, and refused to provide the information and documents requested. Although Mr. New is not currently registered with any firm, he remains subject to FINRA’s jurisdiction. FINRA Rule 8210(a)(1) states, in relevant part, that FINRA has the right to “require a member, person associated with a member, or any other person subject to FINRA’s jurisdiction to provide information orally, in writing, or electronically . . . with respect to any matter involved in the investigation . . .” FINRA Rule 8210(c) states that “{n]o member or person shall fail to provide information or testimony or to permit inspection and copying of books, records, or accounts pursuant to this Rule.” A failure to comply with FINRA Rule 8210 is a violation of FINRA Rule 2010, which requires associated persons to observe high standards of commercial honor and just and equitable principles of trade. Without admitting or denying the findings, Mr. New consented to the sanction and has been barred from association with any FINRA member in all capacities. Stockbrokers have been known to engage in many practices that may violate industry and firm rules, practices, and procedures. In order to protect investors from stockbroker misconduct, FINRA rules require brokerage firms to establish and implement a supervisory system. The implementation of these industry rules requires supervisors to monitor their employees to ensure compliance with federal and state securities laws, securities industry rules and regulations, and the brokerage firm’s own policies and procedures. If broker-dealers and/or their supervisors fail to establish and implement these protective measures, they may be liable to investors for damages which flow from the broker’s misconduct. Therefore, investors who have suffered losses stemming from misconduct, by their broker can file claims to recover damages against broker-dealers, like NYLIFE Securities LLC which should consistently oversee its brokers’ activities in order to prevent the above-described misconduct. Have you suffered losses in your NYLIFE account due to misconduct by your broker? Was Alan Harold New your stockbroker? If so, call Robert Pearce at the Law Offices of Robert Wayne Pearce, P.A. for a free consultation.
