Oregon Regulator Bars LAURA SHEAN

Oregon Division Of Financial Regulation Bars Laura Shean

Investor Alert! The Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”) reports alarming information in regard to prior LPL Financial securities broker Laura Shean [CRD#: 2628756, Medford, Oregon]. Not only has Oregon Division of Financial Regulation and FINRA sanctioned the securities broker for unauthorized transactions, but clients also raised serious concerns about the securities broker. In sum, these disclosures suggest that Shean misrepresented information and misappropriated funds from a client’s investment account. Read on to learn more concerning the allegations against her.

Laura Shean’s Actions Were Deceptive According To Oregon Regulator

Evidently, on January 17, 2019, Oregon Division of Financial Regulation issued Consent Order S-17-0156 sanctioning Laura Shean. Specifically, the Division ordered her to cease and desist from violating securities laws, revoked her licenses, barred her from being a securities broker, and fined her $30,000. It appears that Shean misappropriated $124,402.83 from an elderly client through 6 transactions. The Oregon regulator also claimed that she was dishonest, manipulative and deceptive towards the client.

FINRA Bars Shean For Stealing From Client

Evidently, FINRA issued Acceptance, Waiver and Consent (AWC) #: 2017056236901 on April 3, 2018 barring Laura Shean for conversion. Notably, FINRA says that Shean violated FINRA Rules 2150(a) and 2010 through wrongfully taking a vulnerable, elderly client’s funds. It seems that the securities broker told the IRS to resolve her tax obligations by debiting the client’s account from March 2017 to October 2017. For this reason, on April 3, 2018, FINRA barred Shean in every capacity.

LPL Financial Disaffiliates With Laura Shean For Tapping Client’s Brokerage Account
