He was also accused of indicating to a client that unplaced trades had been executed. FINRA began an investigation into the allegations In November 2021, where English initially cooperated by providing FINRA with documents and information.

Through his counsel, English indicated that he had received the request but would not appear for testimony at any time. As a result, English violated FINRA Rules 2010 and 8210.
