FINRA Bars Former Broker Jack Nadarajah (Jeyakumar Nadarajah)
The White Law Group is investigating potential claims involving barred broker Jack Nadarajah.
The Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) has barred former broker Jack Nadarajah (given name Jeyakumar Nadarajah, CRD #5666532) from associating with any FINRA member firm in any capacity. A FINRA bar is the most severe sanction FINRA can impose and permanently removes an individual from the securities industry.
If you invested through Nadarajah, former broker with Jeffries, LLC and have concerns about your accounts, you may have options to recover losses through FINRA arbitration.
Why Did FINRA Bar Nadarajah?
According to FINRA’s Acceptance, Waiver, and Consent (AWC) dated February 5, 2026, Nadarajah was barred after he refused to provide documents and information requested by FINRA in connection with an investigation.
Under FINRA Rule 8210, brokers must provide information and cooperate fully with regulatory investigations. When a registered representative refuses to comply, FINRA can impose a permanent bar.
A failure to cooperate is considered a serious violation because it prevents regulators from completing their review of potential misconduct.
Why Was Jack Nadarajah Being Investigated?
FINRA initiated an investigation on December 7, 2021, to review trading activity in U.S. Treasury securities and futures.
According to his BrokerCheck disclosures, Nadarajah also has a pending criminal matter dated November 8, 2023, involving charges of:
-
Wire Fraud
-
Securities Manipulation
-
Securities Fraud
It is important to note that criminal charges are allegations, and individuals are presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty in a court of law. However, such allegations—combined with a regulatory investigation into trading activity—may be significant for investors who worked with Nadarajah.
FINRA’s bar resulted from his refusal to cooperate with its investigation, not from a formal finding on the underlying trading activity itself.
Jack Nadarajah’s Employment History
Over approximately 13 years in the securities industry, Nadarajah was registered with several firms, including:
-
Jefferies LLC (2020–2024)
-
ViewTrade Securities, Inc. (2020)
-
TD Securities (USA) LLC (2009–2011; 2012–2019)
-
Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC (2011–2012)
His record reflects multiple disclosures, including:
-
A final regulatory action
-
Employment separations after allegations
-
A FINRA investigation
-
A pending criminal matter
Employment separations “after allegations” typically indicate a broker resigned or was terminated while allegations of misconduct were pending.
What a FINRA Bar Means for Investors
A FINRA bar means Nadarajah can no longer:
-
Act as a broker
-
Associate with a FINRA member firm
-
Engage in securities-related activities at a broker-dealer
While the bar was based on failure to cooperate, investors may still have concerns about the underlying trading activity that triggered FINRA’s investigation.
Can Investors Recover Losses?
Brokerage firms have a legal obligation to supervise their registered representatives. If misconduct occurred, the employing firm may be liable for:
-
Failure to supervise
-
Unsuitable trading strategies
-
Unauthorized trading
-
Misrepresentations
-
Other violations of securities laws or FINRA rules
Most disputes between investors and brokerage firms are resolved through FINRA arbitration.
