Josiah D. Jennings

FINRA reported that Josiah D. Jennings consented to findings that he took part in an undisclosed promissory-note offering that raised at least $8 million, mostly from his firm’s customers.

The Schwartz Law Firm is reviewing the FINRA action against Josiah D. Jennings (CRD #6031164) of Aspen, Colorado.

On August 11, 2026, FINRA issued a Letter of Acceptance, Waiver and Consent. Without admitting or denying the findings, Jennings consented to a deferred $10,000 fine and a 10-month suspension from association with any FINRA member, in effect from August 11, 2026, through June 10, 2027.

FINRA's findings state that Jennings participated in private securities transactions without giving his member firm prior written notice, a practice often called selling away. The offering involved promissory notes sold by a private equity fund. Jennings consulted with counsel, helped draft the offering documents, selected the investors the fund would solicit, took part in initial outreach meetings with them, and signed the promissory notes on the fund's behalf. The offering raised at least $8,000,000 from accredited investors, nearly all of whom were customers of his firm. FINRA reports that Jennings did not earn commissions on the offering.

FINRA Case #2024083338801.
