Securities Arbitration Lawyers BlogFormer Pennsylvania-based Raymond James Broker Under Investigation for Allegations of Accepting Undisclosed Loans From Customers
Silver Law Group is investigating former Pennsylvania-based Raymond James Financial Services, Inc. (CRD# 6694) Jeffrey S. Ingros (CRD# 2091822) after FINRA permanently barred him.
The most recent trouble with Ingros came in February 2016 when Raymond James permitted Ingros to resign after Ingros disclosed to the firm that he accepted loans from customers without prior written approval from the firm and failed to disclose those loans on the firm’s annual compliance attestations, according to his FINRA BrokerCheck report.
Not even a month later, Ingros entered into an Acceptance, Waiver & Consent (“AWC”) consenting to sanctions and the entry of findings that he refused to appear for on-the-record testimony requested by FINRA during its investigation into the aforementioned allegations as well as allegations that he engaged in outside business activities. FINRA permanently barred Ingros for his failure to appear.
