David Leonard Potter (CRD #2991638, St. Petersburg, Florida)
was assessed a deferred fine of $15,000 and suspended by FINRA for five months for allegedly participating in a private offering before his member firm approved the offering and after the firm requested that he cease participation.
FINRA's findings stated that Potter failed to file the offering documents with FINRA’s Corporate Finance Department and made negligent misrepresentations to investors regarding the financial statements attached to the private placement memorandum. Potter knew that the minimum contingency had not been and would not be met. Potter was also notified that the offering had significant regulatory deficiencies and therefore understood that the offering needed to be unwound, with the investor funds returned. Potter later returned the funds to investors.
The suspension is in effect from January 5, 2015, through June 4, 2015. (FINRA Case #2013035055102)
