April 3, 2025 – An AWC was issued in which Sharp was assessed a deferred fine of $10,000 and suspended from association with any FINRA member in all capacities for 45 days. Without admitting or denying the findings, Sharp consented to the sanctions and to the entry of findings that he borrowed $27,500 from one of his customers notwithstanding that doing so was prohibited by his member firm’s WSPs. The findings stated that the customer agreed to provide Sharp with an interest-free loan from a trust account for which Sharp served as the trustee and representative of record. Sharp has since repaid the loan.
The suspension was in effect from April 7, 2025, through May 21, 2025.
