Thomas Lee Johnson – Financial Advisor/Broker Thomas Johnson Named in FINRA Complaint | Goodman & Nekvasil P.A., May Recover Investor Losses
Thomas Johnson CRD #1215434
Thomas Johnson was licensed with RBC Capital Markets, LLC from 2009 to 2017. According to Thomas Johnson’s CRD, Thomas Johnson was named in a FINRA complaint.
ACCORDING TO FINRA Allegations:
Thomas Johnson was named a respondent in a FINRA complaint alleging that Thomas Jonson converted his member firm’s funds by transferring $1,059,544.98 from Thomas Johnson’s firm account to his personal bank account for his own use and benefit, when he knew he had received the funds in error and that he had no right to possess the funds. The complaint alleges that Thomas Johnson’s firm deposited the funds into his brokerage account at the firm following the firm’s liquidation of his shares and warrants of Doosan Heavy Industries & Construction Co. (“Doosan”), a South Korean company. Due to a system error, the firm incorrectly priced Johnson’s Doosan holdings in South Korean Won instead of in U.S. Dollars. As a result, Johnson received $1,059,544.98 from the sale of his Doosan securities, when he should have received only $951.01. Because Johnson monitored his account with the firm on a daily basis, he knew the actual value of his Doosan holdings and that he had received the $1,059,544.98 in error. Rather than notify the firm of the error, Johnson wrote a check made payable to himself for $1,059,544.98 and drawn on his firm account and deposited the check in his bank account that he held away from the firm. Thomas Johnson planned to distribute the after-tax proceeds to himself and his siblings. However, the firm cancelled the liquidation of Johnson’s Doosan securities and rebilled the transaction at the correct selling price. When Johnson saw that the Doosan transaction had been reversed, he obtained a cashier’s check for $1,060,000 from his personal bank and deposited the check into his firm account. The complaint also alleges that in both a written response to a request for information and document and an on-the-record interview, Johnson provided false and misleading information. Johnson falsely stated that, at his request, sales assistants at the firm researched the transaction and value of his Doosan stock and confirmed that the $1,059,544.98 he received from the sale of his Doosan stock and warrants was accurate.
