FINRA: Supervisor Opened Branch Facilities to Unregistered Person

October 18, 2010

A Registered Supervisor in New Jersey agreed to be fined $5,000, barred from serving in a principal capacity, and suspended one month for failing to supervise an RR.  According to FINRA, Richard Barber - who, over the past 23 years, had worked for Wells Fargo, AG Edwards, and Morgan Stanley DW - failed to reasonably supervise the activities of an RR who entered transactions at the direction of an unregistered individual.

FINRA further charged Barber with facilitating this misconduct by giving the unregistered individual unfettered access to a branch office and supplying him with a work station, including a desk, phone and Internet access.  These decisions also violated his member firm’s WSP's re:, among other things, delegation of duties, suitability reviews and reviews for concentrated positions.   [Case #2008015310801, FINRA Disciplinary Actions for October]
