Goodman & Nekvasil P.A., May Recover Investor Losses | Jason Hyson Leblanc (Jason Leblanc), Financial Advisor Barred from Securities Industry
Jason Leblanc was a formerly licensed financial advisor with Girard Securities. Jason Leblanc was barred from the securities and investment banking industry on June 29, 2017. FINRA reports that Jason Leblanc consented to the sanction and to the entry of findings that Jason Leblanc failed to disclose several outside business activities to his member firm and provided inaccurate information about an outside business activity to it. The findings stated that Jason LeBlanc engaged in private securities transactions without the knowledge or approval of the firm. The findings also stated that LeBlanc misused customer funds by applying a customer’s money to an investment other than the one he represented to her. FINRA reports that Jason LeBlanc sold a promissory note from one customer to a second customer for $23,000. FINRA reports that the second customer was led to believe by Jason LeBlanc that she was investing in a coffee shop. Instead, FINRA reports that Jason LeBlanc returned $3,000 to the customer and invested the remaining $20,000 in a real estate investment company, without informing her of the change of investment. FINRA found that Jason LeBlanc misused customer funds by commingling personal and customer funds in various bank and brokerage accounts. FINRA found that Jason LeBlanc frequently commingled funds in order to pay bills for the various entities and his own personal expenses. FINRA also found that LeBlanc did not provide documents to FINRA that were requested after he testified that they were in his possession.
Girard Securities, Inc. reported to FINRA that Jason Leblanc was discharged on 9/23/2015. Girard Securities, Inc. reported to FINRA that the firm was made aware of a previously under-disclosed OBA. Girard Securities, Inc. reported to FINRA that an investigation revealed that the registered representative was also participating in the OBA in a manner inconsistent with Rules 3040 and 3280.
