Citigroup Broker Becky Woo Barred By FINRA For Failure To Respond To FINRA Requests
Becky Woo (CRD#: 4022781, New York, New York) was a Citigroup Global Markets broker who FINRA barred from the securities industry pursuant to Rule 9552(h). Apparently, Becky Woo worked at the firm’s New York, New York offices from December 17, 2012 to January 5, 2017. Notably, the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”) BrokerCheck Report for Becky Woo shows that she did not respond to FINRA’s request for information. Supposedly, FINRA suspended Becky Woo in May 2017. FINRA mentioned that Becky Woo would have needed to make a request to FINRA for her suspension to be terminated. Evidently, Becky Woo failed to make that request or could have stopped responding to FINRA altogether. Because of this, in July 2017, FINRA converted Becky Woo’s suspension into an indefinite bar in all capacities.
Citigroup Broker John Kelly Resigns While Under Investigation For Altering Customer Forms
John T. Kelly (CRD#: 5959098, New York, New York) is a former general securities representative of Citigroup Global Markets, Inc. Mainly, the firm disclosed on FINRA BrokerCheck that John Kelly submitted his voluntary resignation from Citigroup Global Markets during a time that the firm suspected him of misconduct. Specifically, on April 8, 2016, the firm determined that John Kelly possibly changed or impermissibly altered customer account forms after customers signed them. Citigroup indicated that another registered representative of the firm handed John Kelly blank documents that clients signed. Supposedly, those documents were supposed to be completed by clients for them to be valid, but they were possibly completed by John Kelly instead. As a result, it is possible the customer(s) did not know or consent to their investment transactions. Currently, John Kelly is a general securities representative of Ameriprise Financial Services, Inc.
