Weston, Florida, Broker Jeffrey Scott Donner, Named in FINRA Complaint

Jeffrey Scott Donner (CRD #2631248, Registered Principal, Weston, Florida)

was named as a respondent in a FINRA complaint alleging that he executed transactions in the accounts of customers at his member firm without their prior knowledge, authorization or consent.

This complaint alleges that Donner exercised discretion in a customer’s account and

effected securities transactions without the the customer’s prior written authorization or his firm’s written acceptance of the account as discretionary. The complaint also alleges that Donner’s firm did not permit discretion to be utilized in retail brokerage accounts.

Further, the complaint alleges that while Donner was registered with his firm, he exchanged business-related emails with customers, using a personal email account that the firm did not approve, and Donner did not forward to his firm any of the emails sent to or received from customers at his personal email address contrary to his firm’s WSPs that require email communication between registered representatives and customers be reviewed by the firm. In addition, the complaint alleges that by using his personal email address to communicate with customers, Donner prevented his firm from accessing these customer communications and complying with its obligations to review correspondence between registered representatives and their customers.

The complaint alleges that by using his personal email address to communicate with customers and failing to forward the customer communications to his firm, Donner prevented the firm from complying with its recordkeeping requirements. (FINRA Case #2009020228501)

This information was obtained on FINRA's website under "Disciplinary Actions," October, 2011.
