John Roy Boyer (CRD # 1296554, Registered Representative, Missoula, Montana) 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 two months. The fine must be paid either immediately upon Boyer’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, Boyer consented to the described sanctions and to the entry of findings that he engaged in outside business activities by participating in the sale of equity-indexed annuities while registered with his member firm, and received approximately $7,622.25 in commissions as a result of the sales. The findings stated that Boyer failed to provide prompt written notice to the firm regarding the outside business activities and signed an attestation form acknowledging that he was required to submit sales of equity-indexed annuities to be processed by the firm.
The suspension is in effect from May 3, 2010, through July 2, 2010.
