Mark Elliott Taylor (CRD # 4077014, Registered Representative, Purlear, North Carolina) submitted a Letter of Acceptance, Waiver and Consent in which he was barred from association with any FINRA member in any capacity. Without admitting or denying the findings, Taylor consented to the described sanction and to the entry of findings that he converted a public customer’s term life insurance policy to whole life without her approval, forged her signature on a supplemental application and concealed his misconduct from the customer and his member firm by changing the address on the policy from the customer’s address to his own post office box. The findings stated that Taylor wrote a check to cover the initial premium and as a result, did not profit from his conduct but received production credit for renewing the policy. The findings also stated that Taylor failed to appear for FINRA on-the-record testimony. (FINRA Case # 2007010627201)
