John Walter Fisher (CRD # 2828203, Registered Representative, Arlington, Texas) 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 30 business days. The fine must be paid either immediately upon Fisher’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, Fisher consented to the described sanctions and to the entry of findings that he solicited and accepted a $48,500 loan from a public customer without seeking or obtaining his member firm’s written permission.

The suspension was in effect from December 15, 2008, through January 28, 2009. (FINRA Case # 2007009485801)
