Hubert William Pereira (CRD # 5236672, Registered Representative, Marietta, Georgia) submitted a Letter of Acceptance, Waiver and Consent in which he was fined $5,000 and suspended from association with any FINRA member in any capacity for four months. The fine must be paid either immediately upon Pereira’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, Pereira consented to the described sanctions and to the entry of findings that he falsified customer signatures on copies of financial planning service agreements and on an insurance illustration form, and submitted the falsified documents to his member firm. The findings stated that the customers had not authorized Pereira to sign their names on the subject forms, but the customers had previously signed original forms that were submitted to the firm, and the forms Pereira falsified were copies of the originals that he submitted to his principal. The suspension is in effect from October 19, 2009, through February 18, 2010. (FINRA Case # 2008014390201)
