Norman R. Sicard Jr., Financial Services Corp Broker, Barred by FINRA
The AWC disclosed that in April 2016, approximately eight months prior to Sicard’s voluntary termination from Broker Dealer Financial Services Corp., FINRA commenced an investigation into whether he potentially obtained a loan from a customer without disclosing it to the firm; failed to notify FINRA about his bankruptcy proceeding; and recommended investments that were not suitable for a customer of the firm.
As indicated in the AWC, on February 20, 2018, FINRA requested Sicard’s recorded testimony pursuant to Rule 8210 – which grants FINRA the right to require brokers subject of FINRA’s jurisdiction to furnish information and testify regarding any matter pertaining to an investigation. Evidently, FINRA’s request had been acknowledged by Sicard through his e-mail to FINRA on March 9, 2018 and by virtue of his submission of the Letter of Acceptance, Waiver and Consent.
The AWC’s findings established that Sicard refused to make any appearance and testify in the investigation into his possible misconduct. As a result, FINRA Department of Enforcement found Sicard to have committed a violation of FINRA Rules 8210 and 2010, and imposed the sanction of a bar.
Sicard has disclosed on FINRA BrokerCheck that his activities have given rise to a Broker Dealer Financial Services Cop. customer arbitration proceeding on March 25, 2016.
