The Florida-based law firm, Soreide Law Group, obtained the following information on FINRA’s website from the October 2017, Disciplinary Report on Florida broker:
Gabriel Williams Hynes (CRD #3152541, St. Augustine, Florida)
Hynes was assessed a deferred fine of $10,000 and suspended from association with any FINRA member in all capacities for three months for allegedly purchasing securities issued by privately held companies costing a total of $90,000.
FINRA’s findings stated that these transactions were outside the regular course and scope of his employment with his member firm. As a result, Hynes was required to provide written notice to the firm before participating in them, but he failed to provide the firm with any notice.
Also, FINRA stated that in January 2014, Hynes opened an account at another member firm and maintained the account throughout his association with his firm. Hynes deposited into the account the securities he had purchased through the private offerings conducted away from his firm. Hynes failed to notify the other member firm that he was associated with his firm, and failed to notify his firm that he had opened an account at another member firm.
The suspension is in effect from August 21, 2017, through November 20, 2017.
