The revised Sanction Guidelines now advise FINRA adjudicators to strongly consider barring an individual respondent, or expelling a firm, for cases involving fraud. For individuals who violate FINRA’s suitability rule, the range of the suspension has increased from one year to two years, and adjudicators are advised to strongly consider barring an individual respondent where aggravating factors predominate over mitigating ones.
