William Curtis Wester (CRD # 1650555, Registered Representative, Grand Ridge, Florida) 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 six months. The fine must be paid either immediately upon Wester’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, Wester consented to the described sanctions and to the entry of findings that he submitted deferred compensation plan enrollment packets excluding a required variable annuity worksheet to his member firm on customers’ behalf, and the firm suspended the processing of the enrollment packets until Wester submitted the worksheets for each of the customers. The findings stated that Wester obtained the variable annuity worksheet forms, completed the form for each of the customers and signed the customers’ names to the worksheets without their knowledge or authorization. The findings also stated that Wester submitted the falsified forms to his firm as authentic, which caused the firm’s books and records to be inaccurate. The suspension is in effect from November 2, 2009, through May 1, 2010. (FINRA Case # 2008015837401)
