The following information was obtained on FINRA’s website under “Disciplinary and Other FINRA Actions, August, 2013,” by Soreide Law Group, a Securities Arbitration Law Firm, (888) 760-6552.
Elmer Wayne Bullis (CRD #1718482, Registered Representative, Richmond, Virginia)
was fined $15,000 and suspended from association with any FINRA member in any capacity for three months. Without admitting or denying the findings, Bullis consented to the described sanctions and to the entry of findings that he recommended that his customers, a married couple, combine their existing annuities into new deferred variable annuities.
FINRA's findings stated that the customers met with Bullis, their broker, to complete the applications for these transactions and sign several documents; some of the documents completed and signed that day were incomplete or inaccurate. Some documents also contained incomplete and inaccurate information, were confusing and misleading, and did not disclose the name of the broker's member firm.
The customers emailed Bullis and made several complaints, including that Bullis had churned the customers’ accounts, that certain annuities had never been discussed as part of the consolidation, and that the transactions had resulted in losses to the customers of $156,000.
FINRA found that Bullis failed to report this complaint to his firm.
The suspension is in effect from July 1, 2013, through September 30, 2013. (FINRA Case #2011028898803)
