FINRA reportedly bars Herbert Voss Jr. for failure to provide testimony.

According to the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA), the regulator has barred financial advisor Herbert Voss, Jr. from the securities industry.

According to the Letter of Acceptance, Waiver and Consent posted on FINRA’s site today, on April 25, 2018, FINRA staff sent a letter to Voss requesting that he appear for on-the-record testimony on May 9, concerning a customer complaint alleging that Voss had engaged in unauthorized trading in the customer’s account.

On April 25, 2018, Voss’ counsel reportedly acknowledged receipt of FINRA’s request and indicated via e-mail that Voss will not appear to provide testimony on May 9, 2018 or at any other time in the future.

By refusing to cooperate with FINRA’s request for on-the-record testimony, the regulator has barred Voss from association with any FINRA member in all capacities.

According to his FINRA BrokerCheck report, Voss has been registered with StockCross Financial Services in Beverly Hills, California since 2009. He has 8 customer disputes listed on his broker report. Allegations include failure to supervise, suitability, breach of fiduciary duty, and misrepresentation, among others.
