shutterstock_175993865The securities lawyers of Gana Weinstein LLP are investigating Daniel Kasbar (Kasbar) bar from the securities industry. The Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) recently brought an enforcement action (FINRA No. 2015045744901) against Kasbar alleging that between 2010 and 2015, Kasbar engaged in an outside business activity beyond the scope of the approvals provided by his FINRA member firm – also referred to as “selling away” in the industry – HD Vest Investment Services (HD Vest) and LPL Financial, LLC (LPL). On September 17, 2015 FINRA requested that Kasbar provide documents and information. Kasbar did not provide any of the requested documents and information drawing an automatic bar from the industry.

Kasbar entered the securities industry in February 2011. Between February 2011 and March 2014, Kasbar was associated with HD Vest. From March 2014 until June 2015, Kasbar was associated with brokerage firm LPL until he was discharged from the firm.

It is unclear from the regulatory filings what the nature of the outside business activities were but from publicly available information, Kasbar’s brokercheck disclosures reveal several outside business activities including Kasbar Financial, Daniel G. Kasbar & Company, Inc. – a general contracting company, Emerald Village Professional Plaza, Kasbar Consulting – a tax prep, accounting, bookkeeping firm, and A R K Construction Company, Inc.
