The Soreide Law Group, (888) 760-6552, recently obtained the summation of information from FINRA’s website listed as “Disciplinary and Other FINRA Actions, February, 2014.”
Shelby Lee Bowles (CRD #1982481, Registered Principal, Newburg, Maryland)
has been fined $40,000 and suspended by FINRA for 10 months. Shelby Bowles consented to the sanctions and findings that he was the power of attorney, trustee, executor and sole beneficiary to his client without informing his firm. FINRA reported that Shelby Bowles drew up a trust agreement and will for a customer and the customer executed this agreement which then placed her assets, exceeding $1,000,000 into this trust.
FINRA stated that the trust appointed Shelby Lee Bowles as the sole trustee, and at a later time Bowles then appointed his own wife as the beneficiary of the trust.
According to FINRA's findings, Bowles denied on many occasions on forms and to firm personnel that he had not been the beneficiary, executor, trustee, or power of attorney for any of his clients.
Bowles also failed to respond to FINRA's requests for tax returns, and bank
account statements.
This suspension is in effect from December 16, 2013, through October 15, 2014. (FINRA Case #2012031886901)
