Tarek Mohamed Allegedly Failed to Cooperate with FINRA Investigation

Tarek Mohamed (CRD #: 6717691), a broker formerly registered with Bankers Life Securities, has been barred by FINRA, according to his BrokerCheck record, accessed on February 10, 2022. 

FINRA Bar

This bar stems from allegations that Tarek Mohamed refused to provide documents and information requested during the course of a FINRA investigation. 

Bankers Life Securities fired Tarek Mohamed for allegedly violating firm policy related to failure to disclose and solicitation of investments in an outside business activity.

Tarek Mohamed has one outside business on his detailed BrokerCheck record: Bankers Life & Casualty Insurance Agent. If he solicited you for investments in an outside business, contact Kurta Law right away. 

By refusing to produce the documents and information requested pursuant to FINRA Rule 8210, Tarek Mohamed 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.”
