Gary Allen Hanson (CRD # 1909594, Registered Representative, Colorado Springs, Colorado) submitted a Letter of Acceptance, Waiver and Consent in which he was suspended from association with any FINRA member in any capacity for nine months. In light of Hanson’s financial status, no monetary sanctions have been imposed. Without admitting or denying the findings, Hanson consented to the described sanction and to the entry of findings that, while associated with a member firm, he participated in outside business activities, for commissions and compensation, and failed to provide the firm with prompt written notice.

The suspension is in effect from February 17, 2009, through November 16, 2009.
