National investment loss lawyers KlaymanToskes is investigating broker Rick Leininger (CRD# 809473) of The Investment Center, Inc., who has been suspended from acting as a broker by the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”), following allegations that he caused his member firm to make and preserve inaccurate books and records by mismarking order tickets as unsolicited when he had solicited the securities transactions.
According to FINRA’s findings, The Investment Center’s written supervisory procedures (WSPs) required its registered representatives to record whether a transaction was solicited or unsolicited. Between September 2020 and August 2021, Leininger allegedly mismarked 291 order tickets as unsolicited when he had instead solicited the trades. Leininger’s mismarking of these order tickets allegedly caused The Investment Center to make and preserve inaccurate books and records with respect to these trades, in violation of Section l 7(a) of the Exchange Act and Rule l 7a-3 thereunder.
