Allegations include misrepresentation and unsuitable investments related to alternative investments.

According to the Letter of Acceptance, Waiver, and Consent (“AWC”), Jesse refused to appear for two on-the-record interviews requested by FINRA. FINRA sent two request to Jesse, in order to appear for on-the record testimony. The AWC details that through Jessee’s counsel and according to the AWC, Jesse acknowledges that she received FINRA’s requests and will not appear for testimony.

FINRA Rule 8210 gives FINRA staff the right to require associated persons to “provide information orally, in writing, or electronically and to testify at a location specified by FINRA staff, under oath or affirmation with respect to any matter involved in the investigation, complaint, examination or proceeding.” Importantly, FINRA Rule 8210 states, “No member or person shall fail to provide information or testimony . . . pursuant to this Rule.”
