Blanka Solta (CRD # 4568965, Registered Representative, New York, New York) submitted a Letter of Acceptance, Waiver and Consent in which she was fined $10,000 and suspended from association with any FINRA member in any capacity for 12 months. The fine must be paid either immediately upon Solta’s reassociation with a FINRA member firm following her 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, Solta consented to the described sanctions and to the entry of findings that she improperly priced various natural gas options positions in her proprietary trading book which she knew, or should have known, did not accurately reflect the commodities’ market values. The findings stated that Solta’s mismarking of the natural gas options positions had the effect of improving her profit and loss totals in her proprietary trading book at her member firm. The suspension is in effect from October 19, 2009, through October 18, 2010. (FINRA Case # 2008012493201)
