South Carolina Broker Fined and Suspended by FINRA

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

Debra Kay Littlefield (CRD #2312877, Registered Representative, Inman, South Carolina)

was fined $5,000 and suspended from association with any FINRA member in any capacity for two months. Without admitting or denying the findings, Littlefield consented to the described sanctions and to the entry of findings that she recommended that certain customers purchase variable annuity policies and senior common stock in a real estate investment trust (REIT) with funds sourced from the customers’ existing and recently liquidated fixed and variable annuities.

FINRA's findings stated that Littlefield falsified her firm’s books and records by completing and submitting documents without showing the sources of funds as annuities and not accurately disclosing those transactions that were replacements. Littlefield’s firm required her to accurately disclose the sources of funds and whether the transactions were replacements. By failing to identify replacement transactions on firm records, Littlefield caused her firm’s books and records to be inaccurate.

The suspension is in effect from June 17, 2013, through August 16, 2013. (FINRA Case #2010025732001)
