Edward Jones Advisor Faces Suspension and Fine for Concealing Office Ownership

From the desk of Jim Eccleston at Eccleston Law 

Lincoln L. Mason has agreed to a 90-day suspension and a $5,000 fine following allegations of deceiving the firm into leasing office space he owned.

According to AdvisorHub, Mason reportedly provided false documentation and misled the firm's real estate office to secure the lease, violating FINRA's Rule 2010 and policies against unapproved outside business activities, per the terms of the Acceptance, Waiver and Consent (AWC) with FINRA.

If the regulators are after you, and are trying to make a case against you, and you are going to contest their allegations against you, make sure you have the best securities industry defense lawyers, Eccleston Law Firm. My case was spun into a combination of penalties including fines, cash settlements, CE courses and suspension. They were the best I have seen in action. When all was said and done, they had done their magic, my situation was negotiated and settled with a simple "letter of caution" and a case closed without action. It is the most important legal business decision you will ever make, make it Eccleston Law.
