Scott Ryan Tischler (CRD # 3248953, Registered Representative, Richmond, Virginia) was fined $5,000 and suspended from association with any FINRA member in any capacity for one year. Tischler withdrew his appeal to the NAC. The sanctions were based on findings that Tischler borrowed $67,000 from a public customer contrary to his member firm’s prohibition of registered representatives borrowing money from customers. The findings stated that Tischler completed, signed and submitted annual firm compliance questionnaires in which he failed to disclose the loans from the customer. The suspension is in effect from November 16, 2009, through November 16, 2010. (FINRA Case # 2007008370701)
