Original Post on Hare’s FINRA Sanction from July 2013
Jeremy David Hare (CRD #2593809, Registered Representative, Narberth, Pennsylvania) was barred from association with any FINRA member in any capacity. The NAC dismissed the appeal Hare filed regarding the Hearing Panel decision, and the Hearing Panel decision shall constitute FINRA’s final disciplinary action with respect to the matter. The NAC asked Hare to submit a written statement explaining why his appeal in the matter should not be dismissed as abandoned, and he failed to file the required statement. The sanction was based on findings that Hare provided false and misleading information to FINRA in connection with its investigation into a customer’s complaint alleging unauthorized trading and other sales practice violations. The findings stated that the Hearing Panel dismissed the allegation that Hare exercised discretion in a customer’s account without written authorization.
