Tucker, Thailia Alisa

Thailia Alisa Tucker (CRD # 1727554, Registered Principal, Miami, Florida) submitted a Letter of Acceptance, Waiver and Consent in which she was barred from association with any FINRA member in any capacity. Without admitting or denying the findings, Tucker consented to the described sanction and to the entry of findings that she misappropriated approximately $847,188.87 from customers’ accounts at her member firm and used the funds for her own use and benefit. The findings stated that to facilitate her improper use and misappropriation of customer funds, Tucker caused international customers’ accounts to be removed from an abandoned status, caused the addresses for the accounts to be changed to addresses that she controlled, effected unauthorized sales of securities in the customers’ accounts, forged Letters of Authorization (LOAs) and Wire Transfer Agreements (WTAs) to transfer funds out of the customers’ accounts, and approved and processed the fraudulent LOAs and WTAs. The findings also stated that Tucker’s conduct caused her firm to maintain inaccurate books and records. The findings also included that, to make cash available, Tucker sold securities in several accounts without the customers’ knowledge or authorization, then transferred the proceeds to herself through relatives by wire or check. FINRA found that Tucker failed to respond to FINRA requests for information and failed to appear for an on-the-record interview. (FINRA Case # 2007011330602)
