was fined $7,500 and suspended from association with any FINRA member in any capacity for two months.

Brooks used the account to pay expenses related to the oil-and-gas project. During the same time period, Brooks deposited $8,912.50 of his personal funds into the bank account where the investors’ funds were deposited, thus commingling the funds.
