The Florida-based Soreide Law Group obtained this summation of information from FINRA's Website under "Disciplinary and Other Actions, January, 2015."

Jamie David Pope (CRD #4172805, Winter Park, Florida)

was barred from association by FINRA for allegedly converting funds from a client of his member firm which were provided to him for the express purposes of investing in one of Pope’s outside business activities involving the sale of premium finance and purchasing real estate.

FINRA's findings stated that rather than using all of the funds for the client’s intended purpose, Pope converted a significant portion of the funds to his own use and benefit. The client issued checks totaling $60,000 personally to Pope. At no time did the client authorize Pope to use the funds for any other purpose. Allegedly, after depositing the funds into his personal checking account, Pope converted at least $13,197 to his own use in order to pay for his personal expenses.

(FINRA Case #2013039013601)

Jamie David Pope was registered in the securities industry for 11 years and was previously registered with the following securities firm(s):

01/2011 - 11/2013 WILBANKS SECURITIES, INC. (CRD# 40673) - WINTER PARK, FL
