Suspension by FINRA

On June 21, 2022, FINRA alleged that Robert Haas failed to comply with an arbitration award or adequately respond to a request for information regarding the status of his compliance. A FINRA award found that Robert Hass was liable for $155,005.32, to be paid to Wells Fargo Clearing Services at the rate of 5.25% per annum. This is in payment for a loan Robert Haas took out with Wells Fargo. 

FINRA Rules 9554 and 2020

FINRA Rule 9554 penalizes members who fail to comply with settlements or arbitration awards. Members are either suspended by FINRA or have their FINRA membership canceled.

The misrepresentation of facts related to investments violates FINRA Rule 2020, which prohibits the use of manipulative, deceptive, and otherwise unethical tactics to influence investors’ decisions.
