Did John Michael Elias Saad Cause You Investment Losses? A U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit decision became final in which John Michael Elias Saad was barred from association with any FINRA member in all capacities.

John Michael Elias Saad of Atlanta, Georgia formerly worked as a regional director for Penn Mutual Life Insurance and was a registered representative associated with Homer, Townsend & Ken. In 2006, the firm filed a Uniform Termination Notice (Form U5), disclosing that he had been terminated due to alleged misconduct. According to the findings, Saad allegedly misappropriated his firms funds with a prolonged pattern of falsehood and deception. The NAC findings state that Saad allegedly lied to FINRA investigators when questioned about submitting false expense requests and then forging the documents to support those requests.

FINRA’s Guidelines set forth eight specific factors for determining the appropriate sanction for a violation of its rules and instruct adjudicators to consider any other mitigating or aggravating factors.
