FINRA initiated its investigation into John Polemis for allegations that he borrowed $28,000 from a terminally ill customer, without intending to pay it back.  He also placed trades in the customer’s account after the customer died, without prior written authorization, and generated over $3,000 in commissions for himself.

FINRA further alleged that John Polemis had not adequately responded to FINRA’s investigation.  It is a violation of FINRA Rule 8210 to fail to respond to FINRA investigations and can result in being barred from the securities industry.
