According to FINRA, Matthew T. Mierzycki of Austin, Texas had his registration revoked effective April 16, 2025, pursuant to FINRA Rule 8320 for failure to pay fines and/or costs.

A revocation under Rule 8320 occurs when a registered person fails to pay fines or costs imposed in a FINRA disciplinary proceeding. Unlike a suspension, which may be lifted once requirements are met, a revocation is a more serious sanction that bars the individual from association with any FINRA member.

This revocation means Mierzycki cannot work in any capacity with a FINRA member firm. If he was previously found to have committed violations warranting fines, his failure to pay those fines resulted in this additional sanction.

For investors who may have worked with Mierzycki, this revocation is the culmination of a disciplinary process that presumably began with findings of misconduct. The original violations would be disclosed in FINRA BrokerCheck, along with this revocation.

Revocations for failure to pay fines can indicate financial difficulties that may be relevant to any outstanding claims investors might have against the individual. If the individual cannot pay regulatory fines, it may affect their ability to pay customer claims as well.

Investors with potential claims against Mierzycki should consult with a securities attorney to understand their options. Claims may still be pursued through FINRA arbitration, and there may be other responsible parties such as member firms that employed Mierzycki.
