Without admitting or denying the findings, Funakura consented to the sanctions and to the entry of findings that he participated in private securities transactions by soliciting investors to invest a total of $120,000 in promissory notes issued by a company claiming to operate crypto asset mining and investment programs without prior written notice to, or approval from, his member firm. The findings stated that one of the investors was a customer of the firm. Funakura’s involvement in the investments included introducing investors to the investment opportunity, providing information regarding the funds offered by the company to investors, and facilitating their transactions. Funakura received $4,000 as a commission for soliciting these investments. The company later defaulted on the notes. Subsequently, the State of Illinois Secretary of State, Securities Department initiated proceedings against the company and ultimately issued a Final Order of Prohibition, finding, among other things, that the company and related individuals committed fraud in the offer and sale of securities.
