• In September 2017, Kinan Nimeh was officially sanctioned by FINRA. The findings in this matter state that he purchased highly unsuitable leveraged exchange traded funds in customer accounts.

Due to these allegations, he was fined $5,000, forced to pay $3,578 in restitution, and suspended from acting as a securities broker in any fashion for a period of two months.
