According to FINRA’s Disciplinary and Other FINRA Actions publication, Bryan A. Carnahan (CRD No. 3103811), a former broker with Huntington Bank in Hilliard, Ohio, was barred by FINRA for misappropriation of funds from a Huntington customer. FINRA alleged that between September 2013 and March 2015, Carnahan converted approximately $169,500 from one of his customers by causing fund transfers to be made on five occasions from the customer’s brokerage account to her bank account at the Firm’s affiliated bank. FINRA further alleged that Carnahan then had his client withdraw funds from her bank account and get cashier’s checks for supposed investments. FINRA alleged that after Carnahan took possession of the cashier’s checks, he fraudulently caused them to be re-issued in the form of multiple cashier’s checks, totaling approximately $169,500, that were payable to his own accounts and to the accounts of at least 13 of his other customers who had suffered investment losses. (See FINRA AWC No. 2015044908301)
