In August 2013, the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”) announced that it has fined Los Angeles-based Wedbush Securities Inc. a whopping $750,000 and required Wedbush to hire an independent consultant to conduct a comprehensive review of, and recommend modifications and additions to, certain of the firm’s policies, systems, controls, procedures.
Wedbush Securities Faces Long List of Regulatory Issues
This is a continuance of a long list of regulatory troubles that Wedbush Securities has faced over the years. FINRA’s disciplinary action relates to Wedbush’s numerous regulatory reporting violations.
While these violations may not have caused investor losses, Wedbush’s repeated regulatory fines appear to reflect Wedbush’s utter disregard for securities regulators’ authority and Wedbush’s own obligations to maintain the integrity of the securities markets.
We assume that Wedbush is so wildly profitable that it views these regulatory fines as nothing more than a cost of doing business.
