Soreide Law Group, PLLC, a Securities Arbitration Law Firm, (888) 760-6552, found the following information on FINRA’s website under “Disciplinary and Other FINRA Actions, March, 2013.”

Robert Keith Brooks aka Robert Keith Stuart (CRD #1571789, Registered Principal, Miami, Florida)
was fined $7,500 and suspended from association with any FINRA member in any capacity for two months. Without admitting or denying the findings, Brooks consented to the described sanctions and to the entry of findings that he commingled his personal funds with investors’ funds for an oil-and-gas offering he solicited through a private placement memorandum.

Brooks raised $87,633.50, which he deposited into a bank account designated as an operating account for the oil-and-gas project. 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.
