According to FINRA, Andrew Garrett Mandala has been suspended from association with any FINRA member firm for failure to comply with an arbitration award pursuant to FINRA Rule Series 9554.

The suspension began on February 21, 2025. The underlying arbitration case was FINRA Arbitration Case #19-03359, which is the same case number associated with Eric Jason Abrahams' suspension, suggesting both individuals were respondents in the same arbitration matter.

When multiple individuals are named in an arbitration proceeding and an award is issued against them, each individual is responsible for compliance. Failure by any individual results in a separate suspension action.

What Investors Can Learn: Investors should be aware that arbitration claims can name multiple respondents, including individual brokers and their employing firms. When awards are issued against multiple parties, investors may have multiple sources from which to collect. However, each party's ability and willingness to pay may vary.
