Jeff David Jewett (CRD # 4568636, Registered Representative, Bend, Oregon) submitted a Letter of Acceptance, Waiver, and Consent in which he was fined $15,000, which includes the disgorgement of $5,000 in financial benefits received, and suspended from association with any FINRA member in any capacity for 18 months. The fine must be paid either immediately upon Jewett’s reassociation with a FINRA member firm following his suspension, or prior to the filing of any application or request for relief from any statutory disqualification, whichever is earlier. Without admitting or denying the findings, Jewett consented to the described sanctions and to the entry of findings that he participated in private securities transactions, for compensation, without prior written notice to, or prior written approval from, his member firm.
