Did Thomas Lawrence Cause You Investment Losses?

Thomas Lawrence, a former registered representative associated with Ameritas Investment Corp. (Ameritas), submitted an Offer of Settlement to the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) in which he agreed to, but did not admit or deny, the allegations that he borrowed money from a 96 year old customer and failed to repay the loan.

Thomas H. Lawrence III of Chapel Hill, Tennessee allegedly borrowed over $39,000 from one of his customers, a 96 year old retiree.  The elderly customer allegedly consented to provide the loan and Mr. Lawrence prepared and executed a promissory note stating the terms of repayment.  FINRA’s findings stated that Mr. Lawrence failed to repay any portion of the loan and failed to have any discussions with the customer about repaying the loan.  According to FINRA, Mr. Lawrence has had no communications with the elderly customer since early 2014.  Mr. Lawrence failed to notify his member firm before obtaining the loan, because it was prohibited except for immediate family members.  As a result, Thomas Lawrence was suspended from associating with any FINRA member for two years, received a fine of $5,000 and was ordered to pay restitution of $41,332.65, plus interest to the affected customer.
