TAG | Kevin Bradley Martin
Kevin Bradley Martin (CRD # 1704674, Registered Principal, El Dorado Hills, California) submitted a Letter of Acceptance, Waiver and Consent in which he was fined $20,000 and suspended from association with any FINRA member in any principal capacity for six months. Without admitting or denying the findings, Martin consented to the described sanctions and to the entry of findings that he was supervisor of his member firm’s sales and trading operations and direct supervisor of a registered representative who effected pre-arranged and fictitious trades in collateralized mortgage obligations through the firm’s proprietary trading account. The findings stated that the transactions appeared to terminate the firm’s ownership of the securities and to generate profits for the firm and the trader, but they were sham transactions because the firm remained the beneficial owner of the securities and the purported transaction profits concealed actual and substantial losses. The findings also stated that the registered representative was able to accomplish and maintain his scheme because Martin reviewed his activity on a daily basis rather than in a manner that would evidence trading patterns over time and expose the firm’s losses and risk. The findings also included that Martin was responsible for the firm’s overall compliance with applicable laws, rules and regulations and for implementing the firm’s supervisory policies, practices and procedures, and Martin failed to supervise the registered representative in a manner reasonably designed to achieve compliance with applicable laws, rules and regulations. FINRA found that Martin failed to cause the firm to preserve electronic communications.
