The Allegations

Cheryl George was sanctioned by FINRA in July of 2018. The findings in this matter state that Cheryl George allegedly completed a wire transfer for an individual claiming to be one of her customers. Without receiving written or verbal authorization, she allegedly sold securities from the actual client's account in order to generate the funds for the transfer. The customer's email account had been hacked by an unknown individual who requested $33,000 to be transferred to a third party contractor for home improvements. Cheryl George allegedly executed transactions to liquidate a total of $42,980. She then allegedly inaccurately marked the transaction tickets as unsolicited while also failing to mark them as discretionary. She also allegedly told her firm that she received the instructions verbally, when of course she had received them via email. Due to these allegations against her, she was fined $5,000 and suspended from acting as a securities broker in any fashion for a period of twenty days.
