Allegations Against Tony Cheng

FINRA alleged that it initiated an investigation into Anthony Cheng regarding allegations that he engaged in undisclosed outside business activities.  In May 2025, he was terminated by Ameritas Investment Company regarding allegations that he engaged in private securities transactions, meaning that he sold investments that were not approved by Ameritas.  Generally, under FINRA Rules 3270 and 3280, brokers must disclose all business activities that they are involved in, and they must disclose all securities that they are selling.

In response, Tony Cheng refused to appear for an on-the-record interview, which led to him being barred from the securities industry.
