The FINRA records of Chad E. Thompson , a currently unlicensed stockbroker who was last employed by IFS Securities , disclose a final regulatory event and a pending customer dispute.
The Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) is the agency that licenses and regulates stockbrokers and brokerage firms. FINRA requires brokers and brokerage firms to report customer complaints and disputes as well as regulatory sanctions. In addition brokers are required to disclose certain financial matters such as personal bankruptcies, judgments and liens.
In February 2004 the Colorado Division of Securities filed a notice of hearing alleging unsuitable trading, unauthorized trading, unfair and dishonest dealings, securities fraud and failure to supervise. Thompson agreed to a 90 day suspension and repayment of $14,000 to an affected investor. Case#XY 2004-001
