Hayworth, Chuck Richard
Chuck Richard Hayworth (CRD # 2759746, Registered Representative, Wake Forest, 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, Hayworth consented to the described sanction and to the entry of findings that he prepared and submitted 403(b) Employee Retirement Income Security Act (ERISA) Distribution Request forms on public investors’ behalf authorizing the distribution of 403(b) assets to rollover Individual Retirement Accounts (IRAs) at his member firm. The findings stated that, even though the investors had consented to the transfers, they were ineligible for rollovers because they were currently still employed by the 403(b) plan sponsor. The findings also stated that Hayworth was aware of their ineligibility but provided false employment-status information and forged the plan administrator’s signature on each distribution request form to facilitate the rollovers.
