Particularly, on May 21, 2024, FINRA issued Case: 2024081689201. Evidently, FINRA found that Kieper refused to provide testimony requested by FINRA.
On December 21, 2022, Thrivent filed a termination notice ending Kieper’s registration, stating he had voluntarily left the firm. Later, on April 19, 2024, Thrivent amended the termination notice to disclose that Kieper had been charged with felony theft.
