Capital Path Securities, LLC and William John Davis submitted an Offer of Settlement in which the firm was censured and fined $175,000 of which $25,000 is joint and several with Davis. Davis was suspended from association with any FINRA member in any principal capacity for three months. Without admitting or denying the allegations, the firm and Davis consented to the sanctions and to the entry of findings that it, acting through Davis, its AML compliance officer and president, demonstrated an ongoing pattern of noncompliance with AML rules. The findings stated that the firm and Davis failed to enforce its written AML program to ensure compliance with the Bank Secrecy Act. Davis failed to identify multiple transactions in customer accounts, which triggered many of the “red flags” identified in the firm’s AML procedures. Among other things, these customers maintained multiple accounts, had securities-related disciplinary histories, engaged in suspicious penny stock trades and conducted qustionable third-party wire activity.
