Sean Waters was previously licensed with Newbridge Securities Corporation and Financial West Group. FINRA reports that Sean Waters was barred from the securities industry on November 28, 2018. FINRA reports that Sean Waters consented to the sanction and to the entry of findings that Sean Waters engaged in excessive and unsuitable trading and churning in a senior customer’s accounts at his member firm, thus he willfully violated Section 10(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, and Rule 10b-5, and FINRA Rules 2010, 2020 and 2111. The findings stated that Sean Waters’ trading in the customer’s accounts was excessive and conducted with a reckless disregard for her interests. FINRA reports that Sean Waters’ trading resulted in more than $88,000 in cumulative losses to the senior customer out of $150,000 she initially transferred to his firm, while he generated commissions, markups/markdowns and fees totaling approximately of $115,000. In fact, during a four-year period, Sean Waters earned 40 percent of his total commissions solely from the trading he did in this customer’s individual account and IRA. FINRA reports that Sean Waters’ level of trading activity in these accounts, which he exercised de facto control over and made all trading decisions, was inconsistent with the senior customer’s investment objectives and financial situation.
