Michigan Man Barred from FINRA
From the Desk of Jim Eccleston at Eccleston Law LLC:
Jaime Michael Westenbarger has been barred from association with any FINRA member in all capacities. On October 2, 2019, Westenbarger signed a Letter of Acceptance, Waiver and Consent (“AWC”), in which he consented to the bar, without admitting or denying FINRA’s findings detailed in the AWC.
FINRA initially requested information and documents from Westenbarger following the receipt of a Form U5 detailing Westenbarger’s termination from Securities America, Inc. According to the Form U5, Westenbarger was terminated for violating firm policies and procedures regarding borrowing funds from clients.
FINRA found that Westenbarger intentionally provided a partial response to its request for information and failed to provide requested documents. According to FINRA, Westenbarger’s responses to FINRA’s requests for information did not substantially comply with all aspects of the request. Prior to the AWC, Westenbarger informed FINRA that he would not be producing any more documents.
