Francis, of Brooklyn, New York, was named a respondent in a FINRA complaint alleging that he assisted third parties who improperly took over $200,000 in cash from customers\u2019 accounts without the customers\u2019 knowledge or consent. Jonathan Francis was previously registered with J.P. Morgan Securities, LLC.\u00a0 The complaint alleges that Francis issued automatic teller machine (ATM) cards in six dead customer\u2019s accounts and an ATM card for the account of a customer who subsequently complained of an unauthorized withdrawal of funds from his account.\u00a0 Francis knew that the distribution of the unauthorized ATM cards was part of an overall scheme to convert funds from bank customers. Francis resigned from the bank and his firm before they could interview him about it hindering their investigation. The complaint also alleges that Francis failed to respond fully to FINRA\u2019s requests for documents and information, and failed to appear for his continued on-the-record testimony.
