FINRA Letter of Acceptance, Waiver, and Consent Agreement

On August 31, 2021, Jerome Goldstein entered into an Acceptance, Waiver, and Consent Agreement (AWC) after FINRA alleged that Jerome Goldstein refused to provide information and documents requested by FINRA in violation of FINRA Rules 8210 and 2010. According to FINRA, the matter originated from its investigation of the Form U5 filed by J.P. Morgan Securities LLC, Inc on behalf of Jerome Goldstein.       

The AWC states that on June 8, 2021, and on July 23, 2021, Jerome Goldstein was asked by FINRA to provide documents and information to evaluate why he had been terminated from JP Morgan Securities for allegedly violating firm policy. JP Morgan Securities noted that the policy violations concerned his personal finances and withdrawals that fell just short of currency transaction reporting thresholds.

Jerome Goldstein retained a lawyer following his receipt of FINRA’s requests. Goldstein’s lawyer informed FINRA on August 4, 2021, that Goldstein would not cooperate with the investigation. By refusing to produce all the information and documents requested in accordance with FINRA Rule 8210, Jerome Goldstein also violated FINRA Rule 2010. As a result of his failure to cooperate, Jerome Goldstein consented to a FINRA bar as part of the terms of his AWC.
