King Suspended by FINRA for 18 Months and Ordered to Pay a $35,000 Fine
Sylvester King, Jr. allegedly became involved with GVC in 2009 after the company’s CEO came to him about raising money from investors, according to the aforementioned SEC Order being reviewed by attorneys Alan Rosca and James Booker.
King’s clients allegedly were implemented as the main source of money raised for the company, including $3.2 million in two stock offerings and another $2.5 million in convertible note offerings, the Order notes.

In 2015, King was suspended from associating with any FINRA member brokerage firm for 18 months and ordered to pay a $35,000 fine, and FINRA then revoked his registration for allegedly failing to pay fines and costs, the Order notes.
