FINRA takes Disciplinary Action Against New Jersey Broker David Chapman for Forging the Signature of Deceased Client

According to FINRA’s “Disciplinary and Other FINRA Actions” publication, David Glenn Chapman of PRUCO SECURITIES, LLC was recently barred for forging the signature of a deceased client in effort to renew the client’s insurance policy. Chapman also provided false information to FINRA regarding the renewal of the client’s policy.

FINRA found that Chapman signed the deceased client’s name to a letter without authority or consent, and submitted the letter to the insurance company to renew the client’s insurance policy. Chapman further arranged for his assistant to pay the outstanding premium on the policy using the assistant’s personal credit card. FINRA also states that Chapman claimed that the deceased client’s sister-in-law both signed and paid the premium for the renewal of the insurance policy; both statements allegedly false. As a result of such actions, Chapman earned a quarterly bonus of $325 from PRUCO SECURITIES.
