Dennis Hayes— Alleged Private Securities Transactions

Dennis Allen Hayes Allegedly Purchased Securities Issued by Privately Held Companies & Facilitated  Said Investments without Providing Prior Written Notice to his Firm

Dennis Hayes allegedly purchased securities issued by privately held companies and facilitated said investments without providing prior written notice to his firm regarding his participation in private securities transactions, according to a Pending Regulatory Action disclosed on Hayes’ FINRA BrokerCheck Report under review by investor rights attorney Alan Rosca.

Said Regulatory Action was filed on January 11, 2019 on Daniel Hayes’ FINRA BrokerCheck Report.

The aforementioned complaint alleges that the principal of the companies was a friend of Hayes‘ family and that he purportedly obtained approximately $130,000 from some of the companies, or their affiliate, FINRA notes. The complaint further alleges that Hayes caused his firm to fail to preserve books and records by using personal email addresses to communicate with customers about their firm accounts and communicating via text message with one firm customer about her firm account, FINRA states.

Hayes also allegedly did not provide these communications to the firm. Therefore, the firm reportedly could not review or retain this securities related correspondence, FINRA notes. The complaint further alleges that Hayes failed to provide information and documents in response to requests FINRA made related to complaints that customers made about his handling of their investments, FINRA reports.
