According to FINRA, Krista Ann Stamper was suspended from association with any FINRA member pursuant to FINRA Rule Series 9554 for failure to comply with an arbitration award or related settlement.

Stamper's suspension began on October 10, 2025, in connection with FINRA Arbitration Case #23-01593.

The arbitration case dates to 2023, indicating that Stamper has had substantial time to satisfy the award but has not done so.

FINRA arbitration provides investors with a mechanism to seek compensation when they have been harmed by broker misconduct. When arbitrators award damages, those awards represent binding determinations that harm occurred and compensation is owed.

Brokers who fail to pay arbitration awards face suspension from the industry. This enforcement mechanism serves multiple purposes: it creates an incentive for compliance, it protects other investors from working with non-compliant brokers, and it maintains the integrity of the arbitration process.

For investors, the lesson from this case is the importance of due diligence when selecting a broker. FINRA's BrokerCheck system provides information about brokers' arbitration history, including unpaid awards. This information can help you avoid working with brokers who have patterns of customer complaints or non-compliance with awards.

If you have experienced losses due to broker misconduct, FINRA arbitration is one option for seeking recovery. While collection of awards can sometimes be challenging, many investors successfully recover their losses.

Consider consulting with a securities attorney if you believe you have a claim, as they can help evaluate your situation and advise on the best path forward.
