February 3, 2026 – An AWC was issued in which Thomas Pieter Lansing Jr. was fined $10,000 and suspended from association with any FINRA member in all capacities for seven months. Without admitting or denying the findings, Lansing consented to the sanctions and to the entry of findings that he agreed to be named a beneficiary of, and received a bequest from, a customer's life insurance policy without notice to or approval from his member firm. The findings stated that in March 2022, Lansing attempted to remove himself as beneficiary but, due to miscommunication with the insurer, the change never took effect. After the customer's death in July 2024, Lansing received more than $50,000 from the policy. Lansing kept the bequest until May 2025, when his firm discovered the bequest and directed him to return the funds to the customer's estate. Lansing then returned the funds to the customer's estate.
The suspension is in effect from March 2, 2026, through October 1, 2026. (FINRA Case #2024083885501)
