Investigating the Allegations against John Rabulan
There’s a tense atmosphere in the financial industry as the national investment fraud law firm, Haselkorn & Thibaut, takes the reins to investigate a serious allegation of investment fraud. This case involves none other than John Rabulan, a former broker with the reputable firm NYLIFE SECURITIES LLC (CRD 5167). The gravity of the matter is further highlighted as Rabulan failed to respond to a Request for Information from FINRA, a regulatory body that maintains the integrity of the financial markets.
A Closer Look at the Case
The charge against John Rabulan isn’t a matter to be taken lightly. The FINRA CRD number 6946631 outlines that Rabulan, when presented with a request for information from FINRA, failed to cooperate. Due to his non-compliance, Rabulan faced suspension from FINRA, effective October 2, 2023, according to FINRA Rule 9552. Further, if he does not request a termination of the suspension within three months, as of December 11, 2023, Rabulan will face a permanent ban from associating with any FINRA members in all capacities.
It’s important to note that Rabulan held the role of a broker, not an investment advisor, during his engagement with NYLIFE SECURITIES LLC, which spanned from July 2019 to September 2022.
The Implications of the FINRA Rule
To put it simply, John Rabulan is charged with disregarding a request for information from The Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA). This violation of the FINRA Rule 9552 is severe, requiring brokers to respond promptly to requests for information. Prolonged non-compliance results in suspension, and eventually, barring from association with any FINRA member firms.
If Rabulan does not request termination of the suspension within three months following the Notice of Suspension, he will be automatically barred from associating with any FINRA member firms, meaning, his ability to work in any capacity within firms regulated by FINRA will be revoked.
