TAG | falsifying customer signatures
Roger Craig Fulton (CRD #3268583, Registered Principal, Richmond, Texas)
submitted a Letter of Acceptance, Waiver and Consent in which he was suspended from association with any FINRA member in any capacity for three months. In light of Fulton’s financial status, no monetary sanctions were imposed. Without admitting or denying the findings, Fulton consented to the described sanction and to the entry of findings that he submitted a variable annuity application and other documents to his member firm knowing that they contained falsified customer signatures. The findings stated that Fulton recommended that a customer switch a variable annuity he owned for another variable annuity, which had advantageous riders. The findings also stated that the customer agreed to the switch, but Fulton agreed to delay the switch until market conditions improved. The findings also included that Fulton determined that market conditions were appropriate for the switch on a certain date, but the customer was out of town on an extended trip at that time.FINRA found that Fulton and the customer then agreed that the customer’s relative would sign the customer’s name to the variable annuity application and the other documents necessary to complete the switch transaction, which she did with Fulton’s knowledge. FINRA also found that Fulton then submitted the annuity application and other documents the relative falsely signed to his firm as authentic, knowing that the customer’s signature on the documents was not authentic. In addition, FINRA determined that Fulton’s submission of the falsified application and other documents to his firm caused the firm’s books and records to be inaccurate.
The suspension is in effect from February 7, 2011, through May 6, 2011.
