Ching Yang Aul (CRD # 4608307, Registered Representative, San Gabriel, California) was barred from association with any FINRA member in any capacity. The sanction was based on findings that Aul created and submitted falsified Letters of Authorization (LOAs) to his member firm that bore forged customer signatures requesting that the firm transfer funds from the customers’ accounts to the accounts of people unknown to the customers but known to Aul. The findings stated that Aul’s acquaintances transferred the funds to Aul, who used the funds for personal expenses including paying off large gambling debts. The findings also stated that Aul converted more than $1.5 million of customer funds. The findings also included that Aul failed to respond to FINRA requests for information.
