Bethesda, Maryland Stock Broker Barred by FINRA

FINRA recently issued a Letter of Acceptance, Waiver, and Consent (AWC) against financial advisor Andrew J. Egber which results in his bar from the industry by FINRA. According to FINRA’s Brokercheck report, Mr. Egber had previous offices in Rockville and Bethesda, Maryland and was previously registered to sell securities with Wells Fargo Clearing Services, Raymond James Financial, and Steward Partners Investment Solutions. Brokercheck further reports two customer complaints regarding “outside investments.”

The AWC which can be found here states that “On March 3, 2024, Wells Fargo filed an amendment to Egber’s Form US, which stated that the firm had initiated an internal review and was “reviewing allegations of possible theft of client funds” by Egber.” It further states that Mr. Egber refused to provide information and documents to FINRA and further refused to appear for on the record testimony in violation of FINRA Rules 8210 and 2010.
