Understanding the FINRA Sanctions Against Forrest Wester
Forrest Wester’s professional conduct came under scrutiny when the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) took decisive action against him. On November 30, 2023, FINRA issued sanctions due to Wester’s refusal to cooperate with an investigation into allegations of misappropriating client funds. This refusal led to a permanent bar from association with any FINRA member, effective immediately.
Allegations and Settlements Involving Wester
- A client accused Wester of stealing money from her account, leading to a settlement of $55,089.99 on December 19, 2023, without an admission of guilt from Wester.
- Wester faced accusations of unauthorized trading during his tenure at Wachovia Securities LLC, although this complaint was closed with no action.
