According to FINRA, David Jerry Love (CRD #4788074) of Edmond, Oklahoma was suspended from the securities industry for failure to provide information or keep information current pursuant to FINRA Rule 9552(d). The suspension became effective on September 30, 2024. This action is associated with FINRA Case #2024082371501. FINRA Rule 9552(d) empowers FINRA to suspend an individual who fails to provide information or maintain current information as required by FINRA rules. The administrative process begins when FINRA identifies a compliance deficiency and issues a notice to the individual, specifying the deficiency and a deadline for compliance. If the individual does not remedy the deficiency within the allotted time, the suspension takes effect automatically. During the suspension, Love is prohibited from associating with any FINRA member firm in any capacity and cannot engage in any regulated securities activities. The duty to respond to FINRA's information requests is among the most basic obligations imposed on registered persons in the securities industry. FINRA Rule 8210 provides FINRA with broad authority to request information, documents, and testimony from current and former associated persons in connection with regulatory investigations and examinations. This authority is critical to FINRA's ability to detect potential misconduct, investigate complaints, and take enforcement action to protect investors. When registered persons fail to cooperate with these requests, it directly hampers FINRA's ability to carry out its investor protection mission. A suspension under Rule 9552(d) serves a dual purpose: it is both a sanction for non-compliance and a mechanism to encourage the individual to provide the required information. If the individual complies during the suspension period, the suspension may be lifted and the individual may be permitted to resume their securities activities. However, if non-compliance continues, the suspension may be converted to a permanent bar under Rule 9552(h), which would permanently exclude the individual from the regulated securities industry. Investors who may have worked with a suspended financial professional should be vigilant about monitoring their accounts and should consider whether it is appropriate to transfer their accounts to another qualified professional.
