Robert Russel Tweed Barred by FINRA
Tweed appealed a NAC decision to the SEC. Tweed was barred from association with any FINRA member in all capacities. The NAC affirmed the findings and modified the sanctions imposed by the OHO. The sanction was based on findings that Tweed violated Sections 17(a)(2) and (3) of the Securities Act of 1933 by misrepresenting and failing to disclose material facts in connection with the sale of interests in a private investment fund that he controlled and engaged in a course of conduct that operated as a fraud or deceit on the fund’s investors.
