FINRA Sanctions & Allegations of Misconduct

FINRA suspended and fined $5,000 Lila Marie Stokkeland (CRD #2872259) from Jamestown, North Dakota for electronically affixing customer signatures to account for opening documents she submitted to her member firm. In addition, Stokkeland caused her firm to maintain inaccurate books and records. The suspension is in effect from February 3, 2020, through May 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.
