Washington Broker Barred by FINRA

Brian Harris Brunhaver (CRD# 2498928 Snomish, WA)

has been barred by FINRA for allegedly sending and receiving business-related e-mails on his personal e-mail account, which is against his member firm’s policies. Allegedly these emails sent by Brunhaver to his client contained false statements about a real estate investment trust (REIT). These statements incorrectly assured the client that the investment was not risky and was guaranteed.

According to FINRA, Brunhaver's client invested $114,300 in the REIT. Then Brunhaver also sent e-mails to additional clients with similar false statements. No information about the risk of REITs was included. Also, allegedly, Brunhaver met personally with clients regarding REITs and falsely represented them as risk free and guaranteed by the company.
(FINRA Case #2011-026852001)

Brian Harris Brunhaver was previously registered with the following securities firm(s):
