According to FINRA, Jerome Oliver Harris has been suspended from association with any FINRA member firm for failure to provide information or keep information current pursuant to FINRA Rule 9552(d).
The suspension began on February 18, 2025. Rule 9552 provides FINRA with an efficient mechanism to address non-compliance with information requests. The suspension serves as both a sanction for the failure to respond and an incentive to comply.
Securities industry regulation depends on the ability of regulators to obtain information. When individuals fail to respond to requests, it can prevent FINRA from investigating potential misconduct or verifying that individuals continue to meet qualification requirements.
What Investors Can Learn: An active suspension means the individual cannot lawfully conduct securities business. Investors should verify their broker's status through FINRA BrokerCheck, particularly if they experience any changes in service or communication from their broker.
