Soreide Law Group, (888) 760-6552, recently obtained the following summation of information from FINRA’s website, listed in “Disciplinary and Other FINRA Actions, May, 2014.”

Timothy Damien Moran (CRD #2326078, Paradise Valley, Arizona)

was barred by FINRA and ordered to disgorge $200,000 of ill-gotten gains. According to the FINRA report, Timothy Moran allegedly engaged in private securities transactions without providing his firm with prior written notice.

FINRA's findings stated that Timothy Moran allegedly introduced his firm's clients to someone who discussed investments in this individual’s hedge fund. According to FINRA's report, Timothy Moran recommended his clients invest, or consider investing, in the hedge fund. Allegedly, Moran participated in these meetings, phone conversations or additional communication between his clients and the individual.

FINRA's report said that some of the clients Moran introduced to this person invested $1.69 million in the hedge fund. Timothy Moran personally invested a total of $150,000 in the hedge fund. Because of his assistance in finding these clients, Moran received over $200,000. Moran failed to disclose his activity in the hedge fund to his firm or obtain permission from his firm.

Timothy Moran failed to respond to FINRA requests for information, and provided false information to FINRA. The findings also stated that Moran failed to amend his Form U4 to disclose a tax lien filed by IRS for $216,654.
