Roger Waite Barred After Allegedly Failing to Cooperate with FINRA Investigation

Roger Waite (CRD #: 2848213), a broker formerly registered with LPL Financial, has been barred by FINRA, according to his BrokerCheck record, accessed on February 10, 2022. 

This bar stems from allegations that Roger Waite refused to provide documents and information requested by FINRA in connection with its investigation into a matter that originated from a tip to FINRA. The findings state that although he initially cooperated with FINRA’s investigation, he ceased doing so. By refusing to produce the documents and information requested pursuant to FINRA Rule 8210, Roger Waite violated FINRA Rules 8210 and 2010.

FINRA Rule 8210 requires that registered brokers supply FINRA staff with all information and documents requested in the course of an investigation. A violation of FINRA Rule 8210 is also a violation of FINRA Rule 2010, which requires member firms and their associated persons to “observe high standards of commercial honor and just and equitable principles of trade.”
