Former Plano Texas Broker Fined, Ordered to Repay Commissions, and Suspended by FINRA

Leslie Lynn King (CRD #5280908, Prosper, Texas) Alternate Names: LESLIE LYNN CAMPBELL

was assessed a deferred fine of $10,000, required to pay $50,000 in deferred disgorgement of commissions received, plus interest, and suspended from association with FINRA members for two years for allegedly aiding and abetting a non-registered person to participate in the securities business.

FINRA's findings stated that even though King knew that the individual was not registered with FINRA and was not associated with a FINRA member firm, she assisted the non-registered person by executing securities transactions that the non-registered person had brokered with brokers, traders or public customers. For these transactions, King then paid the non-registered person accordingly.

During the relevant time period and in connection with her securities business, King’s member firm paid her $1,790,361 in net commissions; and she, via her operating company, paid at least $606,365 to the non-registered person.

The suspension is in effect from April 6, 2015, through April 5, 2017.
