FINRA to Create a New Centralized Enforcement Office

From the Desk of Jim Eccleston at Eccleston Law LLC:

FINRA has created a new centralized enforcement office which will merge the office which handles disciplinary actions with another office that covers a broad swath of regulatory oversight cases, from corporate finance to fraud detection.

The creation of the new enforcement office is the latest move by FINRA in accomplishing its goal of creating a uniform approach to charging and sanctioning its members and associated persons, and in turn better target developing issues that could harm investors.

FINRA has selected Susan Schroeder, formerly its Deputy Chief of Enforcement, to head the new office.

Thank You from the bottom of our hearts for all you have done for us. When we realized this was a very bad investment - we did not know where to turn for help. Then we received your name. When we called you - you were so kind to us and then agreed to help us. For this we are so very grateful. The world would be a much nicer place if there were more people like the two of you in it. We will always remember all the help and kindness you have shown us. Thank you so very very much for everything.
