(CRD #7680869, Issaquah, Washington)

March 27, 2025 – An Order Accepting Offer of Settlement was issued in which Christensen was barred from association with any FINRA member in all capacities. Without admitting or denying the allegations, Christensen consented to the sanction and to the entry of findings that he failed to provide documents and information requested by FINRA as part of its examination of his OBAs and private securities transactions. The findings stated that FINRA opened the cause examination after the parent company of Christensen’s member firm declared bankruptcy. Christensen was the founder and CEO of the parent company, and it, through various subsidiaries, raised millions of dollars from thousands of investors purportedly to invest in real estate projects. Christensen’s role with the parent company was disclosed on his Form U4. The findings also stated that Christensen failed to appear for testimony requested by FINRA as part of its examination. Christensen’s failure to provide documents and information and testimony in response to FINRA’s requests significantly impeded FINRA’s examination and deprived it of material information regarding his alleged OBAs and private securities transactions.
