Bar by FINRA

A letter of Acceptance, Waiver & Consent (AWC) filed on April 21, 2022, alleges that Doan Nguyen refused to provide information and documents requested as part of a FINRA investigation into his resignation from Raymond James.

The AWC alleges that Raymond James cited the reason for Doan Nguyen’s resignation being his participation in an undisclosed and unapproved outside business activity. 

The AWC states that the alleged refusal to provide information and documents violates FINRA Rules 8210 and 2010.

FINRA Rules 8210 and 2010

FINRA Rule 8210 requires members to submit their books and records for inspection by FINRA, as well as to appear for testimony, in connection with FINRA investigations.

A violation of FINRA Rule 8210 is also a violation of FINRA Rule 2010, which holds brokers to high standards of professional honor.

FINRA Rule 3270

FINRA Rule 3270 requires brokers to disclose to their firm any business activities they take part in outside of their role at their firm.
