According to FINRA: Mike Terry consented to the sanctions and to the entry of findings that as a result of deteriorating financial circumstances caused in part by gambling, Mike Terry borrowed a total of $118,500 from five customers of his member firm, contrary to the firm’s policy. The findings stated that Mike Terry had a personal relationship with some of the customers and at least three of the five customers were elderly. Mike Terry borrowed a total of $96,000 of the $118,500 from one elderly couple. Mike Terry continued to gamble after receiving the loan proceeds.
