February 20, 2026 – An AWC was issued in which Kyle Lindner was assessed a deferred fine of $5,000 and suspended from association with any FINRA member in all capacities for four months. Without admitting or denying the findings, Lindner consented to the sanctions and to the entry of findings that he participated in a private securities transaction with a customer without providing notice to his member firm prior to his participation or at any other time. The findings stated that Lindner solicited the firm customer to purchase a promissory note, which was a security issued by a purported real estate development company. The customer invested $150,000 in the company by purchasing the promissory note. Lindner participated in this transaction by introducing the customer to the investment opportunity, providing the customer’s information to the company for purposes of facilitating the customer’s investment, and assisting the customer with obtaining a loan to partially fund the investment. Lindner did not receive any compensation in connection with the customer’s investment. In addition, Lindner falsely attested on annual compliance questionnaires that he had not engaged in any undisclosed private securities transactions.
The suspension is in effect from March 2, 2026, through July 1, 2026. (FINRA Case #2024083942501)
