| Read Time: 2 minutes | FINRA 8210 Lawyer |

You may have read that Brian Radoo of North Woodmere, New York was permanently barred by the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”) from working in the securities industry because he failed to comply with FINRA Rule 8210 and 2010.

Do You Need a FINRA 8210 Defense Attorney?

In May 2008, Brian Radoo joined NEXT Financial Group, Inc. and became registered as a General Securities Representative. The firm later filed a Uniform Termination Notice (Form U5), disclosing that he had been terminated due to his alleged misconduct. According to the findings, FINRA sent a request to Radoo for information and documents regarding their investigation into whether he engaged in an outside business activity.  The findings state that Alhadeff responded to FINRA through email stating that he allegedly received, acknowledged, and refused to provide the requested information. Although Brian Radoo is no longer associated with any FINRA member firm, he remains subject to FINRA’s jurisdiction.

FINRA Rule 8210(a)(1) states, in relevant part, that FINRA may require a person subject to its jurisdiction “to provide information orally, in writing, or electronically with respect to any matter involved in [a FINRA] investigation [or] examination.” FINRA Rule 8210(c) further states that “no person shall fail to provide information pursuant to this Rule.” A violation of FINRA Rule 8210 is also a violation of FINRA Rule 2010, which requires member firms and their associated persons to “observe high standards of commercial honor and just and equitable principles of trade.”

Unfortunately, Brian Radoo might have avoided that FINRA 8210 bar from the securities industry with a skilled and experienced FINRA 8210 defense attorney. It is important, early on, to have a FINRA defense attorney advise you on how not to make matters worse and resolve the dispute with the least amount of sanctions which could range from censures to fines, suspensions, permanent bars, and/or referrals to federal or state prosecutors. You will need an experienced FINRA defense lawyer who not only has knowledge of FINRA rules and procedures, the securities laws and the appropriate sanction for the alleged misconduct but also has an excellent reputation and credibility with the FINRA attorneys to negotiate the best outcome.
