According to FINRA, three individuals were barred from association with any FINRA member pursuant to FINRA Rule 9552(h) for failing to provide information or keep information current:
Jeu Emmanuel Delgado Lopez of Fontana, California (CRD #7505213) was barred effective April 28, 2025.
Jerome Oliver Harris of Kansas City, Missouri (CRD #5551156) was barred effective April 28, 2025.
Thomas Christopher Johnson of Lancaster, Texas (CRD #7509093) was barred effective April 28, 2025.
A bar under Rule 9552(h) occurs when an individual fails to respond to FINRA information requests and the suspension under Rule 9552(d) has converted to a bar. This typically happens when an individual is suspended for non-response and then fails to respond for an extended period, resulting in a permanent bar.
These bars are not findings of substantive misconduct—they are sanctions for failing to cooperate with FINRA's regulatory authority. However, when individuals refuse to provide information requested in investigations, it often suggests concerns about what that information might reveal.
The underlying investigations that prompted these information requests are not described in the public notice. Investors who worked with any of these individuals may want to review their accounts carefully, as the failure to cooperate may relate to potential misconduct affecting customers.
Individuals who are barred cannot work in any capacity with a FINRA member firm. Investors can verify current registration status and view regulatory history through FINRA BrokerCheck.
