Mark Richard Sommers (CRD # 430582, Registered Representative, Cedar, Michigan) submitted a Letter of Acceptance, Waiver and Consent in which he was suspended from association with any FINRA member in any capacity for six months. In light of Sommers’ financial status, no monetary sanction has been imposed. Without admitting or denying the findings, Sommers consented to the described sanction and to the entry of findings that he borrowed $42,000 from public customers, contrary to his member firm’s written procedures forbidding registered representatives from borrowing money from customers. The findings stated that Sommers failed to amend his Form U4 to disclose material information.
