According to FINRA, on February 26, 2024, the regulator issued a Notice of Suspension to Geeves after he failed to respond to its requests for information. A subsequent suspension letter followed on March 21, 2024. Because Geeves did not request termination of the suspension within three months of the notice, he was automatically barred from association with any FINRA member firm effective May 29, 2024. The action was taken pursuant to FINRA Rule 9552(h), and the order is final. The sanction permanently bars Geeves in all capacities.
