In 12/2020 FINRA case #2017056119601 Halldin consented to the sanction and to the entry of findings that he refused to appear for on-the-record testimony requested by FINRA as a part of an investigation that originated from its review of a series of Form U5 amendments filed by his former member firm.

Sanctions were that Halldin was permanently barred from FINRA in all capacities.
