The following summation of information is available on FINRA's Website under “Disciplinary and Other FINRA Actions, April, 2014.”
Jeffrey Robert Alexander (CRD #5387133, Registered Representative, Colorado Springs, Colorado)
was fined $5,000 and suspended by FINRA for three months. Alexander allegedly recommended investors purchase interests in an oil and gas program to fund the drilling of a well. According to the FINRA report, Alexander did not have even a reasonable basis for personally believing it to be suitable for any investor.
FINRA's findings stated there were “red flags” with the offering company. Some of those red flags were the company's lack of disclosures in the private placement memorandum, and the vagueness of other disclosures. The subscription agreements that the customers completed also lacked particular information such as the client's financial situation, their risk tolerance, and what their liquidity needs might be. Consequently, Alexander could not reasonably believe that investing in an oil and gas program was suitable for clients who invested.
The suspension is in effect from March 3, 2014, through June 2, 2014.
