Former Ä¢¹½´«Ã½lls Fargo Advisor Accepts Industry Bar Amidst Misuse of Client Funds Allegations

Former Ä¢¹½´«Ã½lls Fargo Advisor Accepts Industry Bar Amidst Misuse of Client Funds Allegations

From the desk of Jim Eccleston at Ä¢¹½´«Ã½ 

A former advisor with Ä¢¹½´«Ã½lls Fargo Advisors Financial Network (FiNet) in Chicago, Jayson R. Pocius, has agreed to accept an industry bar rather than cooperate with a Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) investigation into allegations of misusing client funds. According to AdvisorHub, the settlement culminates from a termination notice issued by FiNet in May 2023, citing Pocius's admission during a review that he utilized funds from a client's account for personal benefit.

Pocius declined to participate in FINRA's probe, which the Acceptance, Waiver, and Consent (“AWC”) reflects as a violation of industry rules mandating cooperation and adherence to high standards. As reported by AdvisorHub, following his discharge from Ä¢¹½´«Ã½lls Fargo, Pocius transitioned to Great Point Capital in Chicago, a firm specializing in retail and proprietary day trading.

 

Ä¢¹½´«Ã½ LLC represents investors and financial advisors nationwide in securities, employment, transition, regulatory, and disciplinary matters.
