North Carolina Broker Barred by FINRA Due to Private Securities Transactions and Personal Loans from Clients

Ricky Eugene Bell (CRD #2065556, Fayetteville, North Carolina)

was barred by FINRA and ordered to pay a total of $19,650, plus interest, in restitution to clients. Allegedly, Bell engaged in private securities transactions through a lending program without providing notice to, or receiving approval from, his member firm.

FINRA's findings stated that Bell solicited and received personal loans totaling $19,650 from his clients without requesting or receiving his firm’s approval to solicit or receive the loans.

Bell's firm notified him of its policies and procedures against borrowing from customers.

Also, FINRA's findings stated that Bell failed to respond to FINRA requests for information and documents and to provide on-the-record testimony.
