FINRA Barred Bhola for Refusing to Provide Testimony

On May 8, 2024, FINRA requested testimony from Bhola as part of their investigation into his employment termination. On May 13, 2024, Bhola responded to FINRA, telling the regulator he would not appear for testimony. Allegedly, he prevented FINRA from obtaining his side of the story. Bhola’s refusal to comply with the regulator’s request resulted in a violation of FINRA Rules 2010 and 8210, leading to his bar from the securities industry on June 13, 2024. FINRA Letter of Acceptance, Waiver, and Consent No. 2023079727201.

NYLIFE Securities Disaffiliated with Collins Bhola for Administrative Reasons

On April 29, 2024, NYLIFE Securities disaffiliated with Collins Bhola, citing administrative reasons for his termination. The company’s Form U5 filing, required upon termination, prompted FINRA to investigate further.
