FINRA suspended and fined $5,000 John Robert Barrows (CRD #721515) from Flushing, Michigan for failing to timely amend his Form U4 to disclose that he had been charged with three felony counts. Additionally, Barrows did not inform the firm of the charges until approximately one month after he was required to disclose the charges on his Form U4, when the firm inquired about the contents of the news media report. The suspension is in effect from February 3, 2020, through October 2, 2020.

Investors Have the Right to Recover Their Losses

When investments are sold by brokerage firms licensed by FINRA, they are subject to the laws that FINRA enforces. The brokerage firms are responsible for ensuring that their brokers are trading fairly, ethically and in the best interest of their clients. Ideally, they would accomplish this through careful supervision. Unfortunately, too often this supervision has been inadequate to fully protect investors. If you purchased any investments through a representative of a registered brokerage firm and suffered losses through negligence or fraud, it immediately puts the brokerage firm at fault for failing to supervise their broker. FINRA law then dictates that you can hold the firm legally liable to recover your damages.
