2019064333401 D Allen Blankenship CRD 2842335 OHO Decision df.pdf

Respondent engaged in a pattern of unsuitable trading in mutual fund shares in violation of FINRA Rules 2111 and 2010. He facilitated the unsuitable trading by circumventing his firm’s supervision, which was unethical and violated FINRA Rule 2010. He also falsely marked mutual fund transactions as unsolicited when they were not, which caused his firm’s books and records to be inaccurate and violated FINRA Rules 4511 and 2010. For this misconduct, we bar Respondent from associating with any FINRA member firm in any capacity and order him to pay costs.
