Mark Koehler Barred by FINRA; Koehler Allegedly Refused to Produce Information and Documents Requested by FINRA in the Course of an Investigation Regarding Unsuitable Trades in the Account of a Senior Citizen

Koehler, in December 2006, reportedly became associated with Cetera Advisor Networks LLC as a General Securities Representative in Chadds Ford, Pennsylvania, according to the aforementioned AWC currently under review by attorneys Alan Rosca and James Booker.

By February 20, 2015, Cetera had allegedly filed an initial Uniform Termination Notice of Securities Industry Registration stating that Koehler had been fired on January 23, 2015.

The trouble began when, in April 2014, FINRA reportedly opened an investigation in April 2014 after getting a tip that Koehler had engaged in unsuitable trades in the account of a senior customer, known only as R.P., the AWC notes.

What is more, FINRA also reportedly reviewed trading in certain other of Koehler‘s customer accounts, including those associated with another customer, known only as M.K., and her senior customer parents, the AWC reports.

FINRA, the AWC states, allegedly sought to investigate, among other activity, whether Koehler engaged in unsuitable trading, including short-term mutual fund switching and excessive trading in customer accounts, and whether he placed undue influence on customer R.P. before her death, and failed to disclose his status as a named beneficiary in customer R.P.’s will to his employing broker-dealer, Cetera.

Koehler allegedly failed to answer FINRA’s request for documents and information and therefore violated FINRA Rules and, hence, has been barred by FINRA from associating with any FINRA member in any capacity, the AWC notes.

One should also note that, according to the AWC, Mark Koehler neither admitted nor denied the FINRA findings.
