FINRA barred securities broker Mohammed Anayet Karim [CRD: 4419277, Lakeland, Florida], according to publicly available information on Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) BrokerCheck. Karim worked for BB&T Securities LLC from September 24, 2018, to February 17, 2021, and Truist Investment Services Inc. from February 17, 2021, to August 8, 2025. See the following information to learn more about disclosures involving Karim.
Specifically, on May 11, 2026, FINRA issued Case: 2025087042501 sanctioning Mohammed Karim. Specifically, Karim was barred from associating with any FINRA member in all capacities. Notably, FINRA alleged that Karim refused to provide testimony requested during an investigation, resulting in alleged violations of FINRA Rules 8210 and 2010.
According to FINRA, the investigation originated from a Form U5 filed by Truist Investment Services Inc. after Karim's discharge from the firm. The Form U5 disclosed allegations of misconduct involving former elderly clients.
FINRA alleged that Karim acknowledged receiving a Rule 8210 request for testimony concerning those issues but informed regulators that he would not appear. Rule 8210 authorizes FINRA to require testimony and information from securities brokers during investigations, while Rule 2010 requires securities brokers to maintain high ethical standards. Based on these allegations, FINRA imposed a permanent bar.
Additionally, Truist Investment Services Inc. disaffiliated with Karim on August 4, 2025. Allegedly, Karim engaged in misconduct involving former elderly clients. The securities broker dealer alleged Karim’s personal use of a former client's credit card, possession of client identification documents, and potential influence over beneficiary designations on accounts held outside the firm.
